Another strong finish, twice in two days....

Another strong finish, twice in two days....

Very, very tempting to work out my profit for the last couple of days of this, SUM, A2, HBL and the rest of my portfolio...but that could be hazardous to my health, excess scoffing and drinking is sure to ensue, see dog tail wagging video clip in SUM thread, super funny !

Long term viewers of this thread will be aware I have made repeated calls for John Key to sell the governments share of Cullen Airlines.

Quelle Surprise! The OECD has published a reform agenda paper recommending this;

Will the Double Dipper from Dipton follow the advice of policy wonks from Paris?

PS Maybe when the Sheik of Etihad, His Excellency Mohammed Al Mazouri learns of this recommendation he will be winging his way to Aotearoa bearing Bill gifts of gold frankincense and A320-NEO options.

Interesting read, thanks for posting. Who knows whether the Govt will act on the OECD recommendations, but it definitely recommends to get out of AIR and the government owned Gentailers (and that process started some time ago).

What would happen to the share price of AIR if the government put their lot up for sale? I suppose it depends on the price?

Very hypothetical however much could also depend on who buys the Govt's shares too.

I bet they didn't pay a lot for the ticket either.
At least AIRNZ has put extra planes on today to get AKL--WLG - a 777 even.

Yep a 777 - no expensive runway extension needed

The Singapore 777 aborted 2 attempts to land in the fog yesterday (everything else had given up well before that). Got down to 300 feet before aborting. Must have been exciting eh

Are you sure that was a 777, winner? I thought SIA was flying late model 737's on that Sing/Canberra/Wgtn route?
