Air New Zealand is rolling out automatic re-booking technology to international flight cancellations after rolling it out for domestic flights mid-last year.
The airline says previously, re-booking customers after a long-haul cancellation took up to six hours.
Ground and In-Flight Chief Operations Officer, Kate Boyer, says itineraries will now be automatically rebooked - usually in under 20 minutes.
"We're using an algorithm to search for seats and availability, and make sure we can give customers a sort of certainty on their plans."
