Qantas has advised that the new quarantine rules for people travelling to Australia and New Zealand will force it to further reduce capacity on some routes. The airline recently cut capacity on domestic and international routes by five per cent and 23 per cent respectively in response to falling demand for air travel due to the coronavirus. A spokesman for Virgin Australia says the airline is still assessing its response to the new travel restrictions, while Air New Zealand has flagged redundancies and a looming 85 per reduction in international capacity.

Air New Zealand is stepping up plans to fight back against a rejuvenated Qantas. It will increase domestic capacity in New Zealand, where Jetstar is to introduce regional turboprop flights, and target Australian customers for its services to North and South America. Air New Zealand will boost long-haul capacity by 15 per cent in 2015-16.
