lol there are no planes for you dumb new zealanders because the whole country only has one idiotic oil refinery and one of the main pipeline between that refinery to the major city/aiport was severed :lol:

with hundreds of flights cancelled the busiest airport in the whole country is literally flying empty plane halfway across the country to get more jet fuel and then turn back to the airport of origin so they can do international flights
