Hmm - last time I checked Singapore was sitting in the Pacific as well. So how come that Singapore Airlines is according to the same survey the world's best airline and Air New Zealand the best airline in the Pacific?
I think whoever wrote the article didn't took the time to scrutinise the results. On a second look one would find out that they got first just in Oceania and parts of the South Pacific.
For the purposes of the Trip Advisors survey, Singapore Airlines falls into the Asia geographical region. Air NZ into the South Pacific and Oceania region (which without being pedantic is the Pacific region)
Worth noting Air NZ won Best Premium economy in the world, a valuable & growing part of AIR's inventory, so if you drill down into these surveys they're not quite as straightforward as they seem.
I think I may have to stop flying as there does not seem to be a trust-worthy pair of wings anywhere :p.
Jetstar GE probable one-off, but even more RR blade problems a worry.
3 of may next 4 flights are scheduled on 767's - we need to be bringing this old tech back :D.
Neither. There is massive competition east coast Australia to US with American, Delta, United, Qantas, Virgin Australia all competing heavily on price to attract leisure travellers. Air NZ simply cannot charge Australians (or Americans) the prices they charge New Zealanders or there would be no passengers at all. They more than make up for it on revenue from the all-important business traveller to their key destinations, charging far and away above what other airlines can get away with (despite the hard product being about equal, NZ routinely charges up to twice what UA charges for their flagship Polaris product).

I'm thinking this is new bad news but stand to be corrected
Ok, at what point will airlines start holding Rolls Royce responsible for their clear failure in quality control? Airlines and their shareholders cannot continue to be left holding the bag because RR won't take responsibility for their incompetence.
One person on here a while back alluded to the fact that some of these new version engines might be experiencing compressor blade wear.
I think they will be Bora scope checking these engines regularly forever and a day and RR will be on the hook for more costs. Good that AIR say they're unaffected.
Singapore airlines will be making a lot of cycles of shorter trips with the shorter range 787-10's.
Perhaps another challenge to be overcome.

ATR600's are real fuel misers and given they have 8 more of them on order I'd be very surprised if they were looking to replace them with relatively thirsty jets anytime in the foreseeable future. Merging operations however looks almost a given as they roll out there 2 year program of looking for more operational cost savings on top of the $50m per annum and the recently announced new initiatives of a further $60m per annum. If they work hard they might get to a total of $200m per annum in cost savings in total, that would be pretty cool ands represent about 18 cps in annual cost savings.
