The information we have at this stage is that the cyclone is going to be a high-wind, high-rainfall event, and less likely to be a repeat of the extreme flooding we experienced a week ago. While we are hopeful of limited disruption to travellers’ journeys, we have preparations underway for all scenarios to ensure travellers’ comfort and safety.
Over the coming days it’s possible there may be short notice flight delays or cancellations. It’s important that if you’ve got travel booked over the weekend and into the early part of next week you monitor your email, airline travel app or website for the latest updates and advice from your airline.
Advice for travellers:
-
Check airline websites and travel apps or your email for travel updates from your airlines or travel agent before leaving for the airport
-
Stay up to date with the latest information on your route to the airport on the Waka Kotahi website or AT for updates to the public transport network

We recommend you pack any essential medication and a change of clothes in your carry-on baggage just in case your travel is disrupted
