Foran said flights from Victoria also sold out shortly after the announcement, but he reassured customers that airline staff would be working hard to get New Zealanders home before the seven-day window closed by adding more flights and flying its bigger 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft, as well as its A320 aircraft, which have been doing most of its trans-Tasman flying.
