Sorry I should have said same, not different.
There are still lots of unknowns for Air NZ to manage - e.g. ETOPS changes, flight loads, availability of alternative flights for rebooking passengers, passenger choices about cancelling or changing flights, length of time the aircraft will be out (and knock-on effects on maintenance schedules), etc.
I.e. I expect there will be fluidity in the schedule for some time to come.
