What is your obsession with this quote? I am a NZ citizen and I am really not concerned that NZ law doesn't cover refunds for a once in 100 year pandemic.
For 99.9% of time AirNZs T&C's are fine and don't need Govt meddling, so is it really not that much of an issue.
Don't see the need to change the law to cover another pandemic in 100 years time when air travel will be a completely different form.
The day to day problems which DOT and EU261 are targeted to address are not a problem in NZ.
