For example, at the end of July Air Canada were flying to Auckland/Australia 4 days per week as cargo only aircraft. At the start of August this service was reduced to two days per week as a result of the Canadian government opening up their borders to vaccinated passengers. The aircraft were economically better put to use flying USA to Canada and selling bums on seats rather than cargo in the boot, so NZ lost out. The pressure from NZ exporters/importers and tourists will start to pile on soon as we get left behind in a world trying to open for business.
