Air New Zealand has issued a total ban on affected Samsung Galaxy Note 7 smartphones on all of its flights from Sunday morning.
A spokeswoman said the airline strongly advised travellers not to bring these devices to the airport with them.
"They cannot be accepted for travel and there is no storage facility available for them at our check in areas," the spokeswoman said.
It came after the United States Department of Transportation issued a total ban on passengers and flight crews bringing the phones on airline flights into and out of the United States.
"Air New Zealand apologises to customers for any inconvenience, however, this is an FAA and US DOT safety requirement."
The Civil Aviation Authority this week told airlines they had to ensure passengers turn off any Samsung Galaxy Note 7 devices when travelling, but fell short of an outright ban.
The US order, which goes into effect at 5am on Sunday morning New Zealand time, says the phones may not be carried on board or packed in checked bags on flights to and from the United States or within the country.
The phones also can't be shipped as air cargo. Passengers caught attempting to travel with the phones will have the phones confiscated and may face fines, the department said.
Samsung has recalled more than 2.5 million of the smartphones worldwide, citing a battery manufacturing error, and discontinued the product earlier this week, less than two months after its August release.
