Air fares are expected to remain high for a number of months, as Air New Zealand says there aren't enough seats to meet demand.
Consumers are complaining of sky high prices as demand for both domestic and international travel rises with the approaching holiday season.
Domestic capacity in New Zealand's close to a hundred percent, with international flight capacity at 65 percent.
That's expected to rise with more planes coming back in circulation.
Airline CEO Greg Foran told Mike Hosking it's not a unique issue to New Zealand, as he claims all airlines are battling with increased demand amidst reduced capacity and fuel prices.
He expects things to look up in the near future, as he says Air New Zealand is on track to have a better 2023.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
