The consumer watchdog has taken its fight for Air New Zealand to refund flights cancelled during the pandemic to the Consumer Affairs Minister.

Yesterday Air New Zealand apologised to customers who have been unable to use their airfare credits, but said it can't afford to offer refunds to everyone who has had flights cancelled.

Consumer New Zealand chief executive Jon Duffy speaks to Kim Hill.
