A permitting issue, supposedly," he says.

This is bad and would annoy a lot of passengers. Spending what, 10 hours in the AIR to fly from Auckland to Auckland !?!?

Very bad week for AIR with 2 out of approx. 2,000 flights proving to have inconvenienced passengers. OMG the wheels are falling off and the sky is falling in lol Obviously a slow week in the N.Z.media with more meaningful news. I guess Australian media don't bother reporting JetStar's and Virgin's fiasco's because the public get bored with reading about the same repetitive thing day in and day out... every day and that's before we even start talking about the truly woeful reliability of Tiger airlines...just look at the shockingly low respect the travelling public have for them https://www.productreview.com.au/listings/tiger-airways

Couldn't agree more with your sentiments. Easy headline click bait material for the Herald, lets bash the national carrier, any outrage will do, esp when there's little other news. From other passengers sounds as though nobody was 'losing their minds' & the captain & cabin crew were highly communicative & did everything they could to make people comfortable in a difficult situation which was no fault of the airline. Do people really expect airlines to compensate all the passengers for lost work, taxis etc when a situation arises where the airline has to put safety first. Sometimes I think our social welfare system is producing such a sense of entitlement in this country. It's an airline for Gods sake, not the Dept of Social Welfare! Apologies in advance for my little rant, but compared to experiences I've had on American let alone other airlines (& don't even get me started on never again Jetstar) Air NZ did a good job looking after those pax.

Just one thing to note Rodger... AIRs new A321's also have 29" seat pitch for some of the economy rows... Pitch varies between 33"-29"
