Air New Zealand has confirmed Nouméa airport in New Caledonia is closed until Tuesday, as civil unrest continues.
Air New Zealand says it will only resume services when it can guarantee safety for ground staff and customers.
Air New Zealand’s Captain Hugh Pearce told Heather du Plessis Allan that it’s one thing for the airfield to be opened and operating, but it’s another thing for people to safely get to and from the airfield.
Pearce said “Our thoughts are with those people on the ground.”
