Air New Zealand will resume operations in the lower South Island this afternoon following a new forecast from the New Zealand.

The forecast enables Air New Zealand to safely resume operations below the ash level to and from Christchurch, Dunedin and Invercargill, however, Queenstown remains affected.

General Manager Airline Operations and Safety and Chief Pilot Captain David Morgan says Air New Zealand is continuing to work closely with both Civil Aviation Authority and Airways Corporation to identify safe flight paths which avoid areas of ash.

There will be some delays on the network as we recommence operations in these areas.
