From the link
“Our priority is getting customers to where they need to go safely. It’ll mean a short stop in Nadi to refuel and swap over crew, which means NZ1 will arrive into Auckland around five hours later than expected.”
Marren said all 180 passengers had been told of the stopover before departure from John F Kennedy International Airport in New York. The Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner plane would be met in Nadi by a replacement crew.

A stop at any airport will increase the time. A lot more if pax embark/disembark.
A NAN tech stop (when it happens) is 490 miles longer (~1 hr flying time)

Can I except some form of compensation as BP passenger in this situation.
I can tell you my ticket WAS NOT CHEAP.
I purchased a non stop flight from New York to Auckland, and I expect to get there, in comfort, with no stopping!

Compensation for what exactly? Not a single flight has had to stop in Nadi.

Further comment earlier about EWR-ORD-AKL ? Again no thanks - way to risky transiting another US airport with missed connections and security cues.

Some selective extracts:
1.6 What if my Ticket is for business travel?
If you buy, or claim to buy, a Ticket for business purposes, the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 (New Zealand) will not apply. This does not change the rest of our Agreement which remains valid.
1.7 Do links to the Air New Zealand website form part of our Agreement?
In this Agreement we sometimes provide links to further information on our website. That information is only for your guidance, and does not form part of our Agreement.
8.4 Does Air New Zealand guarantee flight times?
Sorry, we cannot guarantee our flight times.

But seriously does any airline offer compensation for diverts?
If non stop is an absolute must may be a business jet could be a better option?
