A former New Zealand immigration minister has labelled the state airline a "flying sweat shop" for paying Chinese flight attendants little more than a quarter of their New Zealand colleagues' wages.

Tuariki John Delamere, now an immigration consultant, said today that Air New Zealand's attitude was "disgusting" in paying more than 30 Chinese workers less than their New Zealand counterparts, particularly as it was 76-per-cent owned by the government, Radio New Zealand reported.

Air New Zealand will raise fares on flights to Australia and the Pacific Island from the end of the month becoming the latest airline to succumb to rising fuel costs.

The airline's group general manager Bruce Parton said fares would rise by an average of 3% from March 26.
