Judith Collins, New Zealand's energy and resources minister, said that a damaged pipeline that resulted in a fuel shortage across the country and grounded more than 100 flights, was restarted on Sep. 24, Reuters reported. "Airlines are continuing to operate their networks on the 50% fuel allocation from Auckland, with increasing stability and minimal disruption to passengers," Ms. Collins said. Sjoerd Post, chief executive of New Zealand Refining Co. Ltd., said that full capacity would probably not return until early 2018 and the pipeline would operate at 80% capacity until further tests were carried out.
