The jobs of 1850 Air New Zealand front-line staff are up in the air as their employer weighs up contracting out the work they do to a Spanish firm. Alan Wood reports.
Air New Zealand's proposal for front-line work to be outsourced to a consortium led by Spanish firm Swissport created an uproar among ticketing and baggage and service staff when it was announced in October.
But if Air NZ's turbulent staff-management is set aside and the airline is judged by its share price alone, it is on the right track, analysts note. Its shares are close to recent highs. The shares closed yesterday up 3c at $2.19.
And I bought in at 1.43
TRY selling a large number at these prices and see how weak the stock is in turn tumble current t/o numbers are low all that is needed is one institute to pull the PLUG.. don't WAIT.. [8D]
AIR NZ's chart is looking pretty good. Its broken out of its trading range on April 20th and has tested the upper line a few times since, so its seems to have found good support.
44 million went through pre market this morning at 270.
Qantas off loaded.
Would this translate into QF diminishing hope of code-share with Air NZ.[?][?]

[:I] Though freezing~ the sun shines particularly bright in this freezing winter day~
O well, there will be a blood-bath considering all the airlines operating in this region, and most noticible the EK (Emirates) who just bought all the naming right of a couple of big visible events~ Team NZ in the America's Cup, the Melbourne Cup~
Not very good news for Air NZ... though the good thing is they are code-sharing with Air China from 01JUL~ may help their strentch into China~
Why cant i find the air thread -- the cross-eyed puppy will delete this if someone comes up with the old one.
i'm surprised at the drop in AIR, and assume it is because of the chartered flights carrying soldiers to Kuwait. Is this the small investors' ethics vote?
i note, however, that the slide began three months ago. surely the quarterly ~7% increases, and the announcement of buying four 777s didn't contribute.
i sold over half my air last week, and am looking to buy back in -- when i can get to the bottom of the slide. i've been overseas for over three months -- can someone tell if there've been any fundamental changes. cheers scamper.
Air NZ getting a pasting based I guess on the prospect of competition on the domestic side of their business down now below $2.00 from $3.2 earlier on in the year Darnnnnn!!
I think though the basic business structure maybe healthy~ but proves that the industry is very volatile~ and airlines these days quite vulnerable to the environment changes...
I see AIR has been sliding for the last three months.
announcements in the last month have included the impending puchase of four 777s, ~7% increases for the period, and the charter revenue.
could this week's slump be ethics driven, with some investors selling in protest over the charters of aussie soldiers to kuwait. To me Air's moves sound like clever grabbing of money-making opportunities.
i guess the prospect of domestic competition my be chilling to some, but let's face it, that has happened before, and when the dust has settled, Air's still flying.
sold half my holding last week, but will be watching to buy back in. Scamper.
Probably more to do with the report in today's Dom-Post (and on www.stuff.co.nz) about looming competition domestically. Story tips Pacific Blue (a Branson creation) to start flying within NZ, followed potentially by Jetstar with Tiger Air (Singapore air offshoot) another possible starter.
My comment: I find it hard to believe that there are 3 possible players looking at NZ domestic market. AIR has seen off all comers -- Ansett, Qantas and Origin Pacific, should there really be worries about any others.
I guess any competition will erode their market share, hence the price drop.
May still be flying but domestic is Air New Zealand's main, number one, primary, substantial, consistent profit centre. Domestic competition wont put them out of business but they will inevitably loose traffic and will be unable to increase yield to compensate. Virgin are cunning operators and even more cunning marketers. It has been a golden period for AIR domestic over the last 12 months but the market knowns things are about to change.
Todays 9% plunge is merely the continuation of a pre-existing downtrend. Technically, the writing has been on the wall for AIR since June, when most of the various indicators plotted here triggered simultaneous Sell signals. This chart is unusual, in that the trendline break was the last indicator to fire. Most commonly it is one of the first to be triggered, generally just after the OBV.
The chart shows how a trailing stop based on the Average True Range is slightly superior to one based on a simple percentage fall.
Current holders of this stock must be totally oblivious to the use of basic technical indicators. The OBV sell signal could hardly have been more obvious, quite apart from the confirmation provided by other indicators.

JULY MARKET CONDITIONS
July trading was strong, with 6.7% growth in passenger numbers across the Group compared to the same month in 2006.
Within this, our long-haul operations experienced significantly higher activity than in July 2006, carrying 154,000 customers (10.8% more than July 2006). Total Revenue Passenger Kilometres were 1.4 billion, an increase of 11.4% year on year.
Passenger load factor was 82.2% across the Group, an improvement of 6.2 percentage points compared to the same month last year.
Load improvements were equally pleasing in short-haul and long-haul, with improvements of 6.9% and 5.4% respectively. Short-haul load factor improvement against last year continues to reflect the rationalisation of the Tasman / Pacific Islands schedule. Stronger loads for our long-haul operation were predominantly driven by Asian routes, including Hong Kong and Shanghai.
July 2007 group-wide yields were 0.2% higher when compared with the previous period. Short-haul yields were up 3.0% on July 2006, while long-haul yields were 1.0% lower.
A summary of load factors for the month of July follows:
-Short-haul passenger load factor increased 6.9 percentage points to 78.4% when compared to July 2006.
-Domestic passenger load factor was up 2.6 percentage points to 76.3%
-Tasman / PI passenger load factor was up 8.9 percentage points to 79.5%
-Long-haul passenger load factor was up 5.4 percentage points to 85.0% when compared to July 2006.
-Asia / UK passenger load factor increased by 9.0 percentage points to 81.9%
-North America passenger load factor increased 4.4 percentage points to 87.2%
Could the slump be due to Helen Clark's bashing of Air New Zealand over the chartering? Perhaps investors are pricing in further losses due to the prospect of more government involvement in the company.
