Flights schedules across the South Island are being buffeted by a blast of Arctic weather.
Dunedin, Christchurch and Queenstown have already listed several cancellations, with Invercargill airport grounding all flights.
At 10 am this morning Southland's biggest airport announce that all Air New Zealand flights, in and out of Invercargill
had been cancelled. Passengers have been advised to contact the airline directly.
However Air New Zealand has asked for patience, saying that their call centers are currently under pressure due to the disruption to the Transtasman flights to Australia.
"Air New Zealand's contact centre is currently experiencing a high volume of calls due to the travel pause with Australia contributing to longer wait times," said a spokesperson for the airline.
