    If this happens I would expect N.Z. to follow suit very quickly.

    I wouldn't (for all the tea in China), and I feel sorry for the staff on board aircraft that are required to do so at the moment as part of their job. They're really earning their pay at the moment

    One suspects BA and the other airlines have stopped flights mainly due to hugely reduced demand - no point operating empty planes and losing tens of millions of dollars.

    Air NZ by contrast probably still has demand - same as Qantas for that matter.

    Watch for the lead from Qantas.

    Clearly demand in flights to and from China is going to fall very fast for all airlines. AIR will not be any different https://www.stuff.co.nz/travel/trave...on-virus-fears

    Probably be different from other airlines for one reason - still enough travellers between China & NZ, and I think most will prefer to fly with Air NZ than the China based airlines.

    NZ & companies associated with NZ still maintain a first rate reputation for health and quality than equivalent China companies.

    Around 50% of the air is recirculated, with the rest being drawn into the cabin externally via the compressor for heating.
