Air New Zealand's cutting another set of flights on top of its already stretched network. 

On top of cancellations across May and June announced last month, the airline's now axing further flights across July, citing rising jet fuel costs. 

It says this will impact around 2% of passengers travelling nationwide. 

Airports Association Chief Executive Billie Moore told Mike Hosking when you break down this number regionally, it could be up to 20% of seats being cut in some places. 

She says it'll be broader than just Nelson and Tauranga and will be a case of piecing all the cuts together. 

Moore told Hosking it's hurting a bit more over here as the network had been shrinking already. 

She says most countries have been growing their networks while ours has been declining, so it's cuts on top of cuts.
