Air Nelson `coping'
Relevant offers
Weather was cited as the main reason for delays on the first day of a three-day strike by Air Nelson pilots.
Air Nelson general manager John Hambleton said yesterday had otherwise gone well, with no major hiccups.
An estimated 10,000 passengers had their flight plans disrupted when the 155 pilots walked off the job yesterday.
The strike at the end of the school holiday ends at midnight tomorrow, and follows a year of unsuccessful negotiations between Air Nelson Management and the pilots' union.
New Zealand Air Line Pilots' Association has said pilots want a pay rise and a change to the rostering system which currently gives them only one weekend off a month.
