Air New Zealand dispute resolved

Air New Zealand and the union representing 1,000 long-haul cabin crew have reached agreement in their dispute over pay and conditions.

It follows two 48 hour strikes by cabin crew, with a third one planned - which is not now expected to go ahead.

Details of the deal struck for the next three years will not be made public until staff ratify it on Monday.

Air New Zealand says its contingency plan put in place because of the industrial action cannot be reversed, despite agreement being reached.

That means around 30 flights on Sunday and Monday will remain cancelled.

But the airline says alternative arrangements are already in place for the majority of affected passengers.
