Protesters gathered outside Wellington's High Court today, as a lawyers' group challenges the Government's climate moves. 

Lawyers for Climate Action alleges the Government's emissions reduction plan doesn't add up - and wants the Court to order it back to the drawing board. 

Executive director Jessica Palairet says this is the first case of its kind in New Zealand. 

"These kinds of challenges have actually happened all around the world. So in the UK, the Government was challenged two times on its plan and had to go back two times and do a better job."

The national carrier has already raised fares, and cancelled about 1100 upcoming flights.

Nicola Willis says she thinks there will be some shifts in airline patterns around the world - which will mean jet fuel remains available.

"And I think Air New Zealand has every opportunity to compete for customers, we now look like a very safe country compared to a lot of other destinations where people might have wanted to have a tourist experience three weeks ago."
