NZ Indians stranded by axed flights

Air New Zealand's axing of its Singapore services has left about 300 people facing other convoluted and expensive flights – or staying home. Most of those caught are migrant Indians but Air New Zealand says it will not take responsibility for their travel arrangements.
The decision has hit a potentially lucrative market serving the growing Indian population in New Zealand. In February Air New Zealand signed an agreement with Jet Airways, a carrier that dominates India's domestic market. The deal allowed people to buy an Auckland-to-Mumbai ticket over the summer holidays with Air New Zealand flying passengers to Singapore and Jet flying on to Mumbai. But on July 12 Air New Zealand announced it was quitting the Singapore route from October 1. On August 10 Jet Airways and Qantas signed a code-share agreement between Australia and India.
