One expert has suggested Jetstar won't follow Air New Zealand in cutting upcoming domestic flights.

The airline plans to cancel about 1100 flights over the next six to eight weeks because of fuel price hikes - impacting about 44,000 passengers.

It's already raised fares to help cover costs.

Board of Airline Representatives NZ executive director Cath O'Brien, says Jetstar's unlikely to do the same because Air New Zealand's domestic network has a wider spread.

"They have a wholly different problem than Jetstar, which is operating trunk services and jets only."

All options are on the table for conserving fuel if the US-Israel war on Iran continues.

Iran's retaliating with hits on neighbouring countries, and blocking shipping transit through the Strait of Hormuz - sending global fuel prices spiking.

Associate Energy Minister Shane Jones says the Government's working on a plan in case our supplies come under threat.

Jones says we have 50 days fuel here and on the way, but continued supply rests on the length of the conflict.

"Kiwis expect their Government to be proactive, Kiwis expect us to deal with the fact that other countries are hoarding their fuel."
