Isn't it IATA that dishes out the ranges and other parts of the standard the reference will work across the different backend systems.
Also think the range is smaller as think they skip 1 vs I vs l and 0 vs O or at least only have one option in the set.
NZ’s PNR’s are normally able to be pulled up on a third party lookup.
Ticketing Numbers are more important for intra airline communication.
NZ’s IATA clearing code is 086, which is pre-fixed to the start of every ticket issued by NZ.
A PNR is just really a hand reference code, to access a booking. A bit like having a short url, it’s handy but not the only option.
A ticking number is more important, but of course isn’t as customer friendly.
