Why change the password?

AirNZ only provides Name, Number and tier to this SITA system. Your AirNZ password or hash is not given to them. So there is no need to change your AirNZ password.

Sure the authentication credentials which AirNZ (and other airlines) uses to auth to this system will need to be changed, but there is no action for individual parties to do.
