If a response to a plummeting demand then completely reasonable, but it is premature from a public health perspective which is how their press release reads.

Shortage of planes....... shortage essentially resolved now.

or is this unkind to Air NZ?
The press release doesn't say that the suspension is for public health reasons. It says that it's due to the impact of COVID-19. Very low demand is one of the impacts of COVID-19.
