The airline industry is something I would not advise most people to be exposed to in any portfolio, super high beta factors, too many unpredictables, and thin margins that blow up in a nanosecond.

I'm with you on that.

Up 26% in less than 8 weeks can't be all bad

from Air New Zealand comments on ACCC Draft Determination
Air New Zealand today said it was flabbergasted and astounded...

Now there is a word you do not see very often in company communications, especially in a tautological setting.

Never mind they could always just stop flying those empty A320's they mention.

Seems to me looking at the chart from a novice point of view, if AIR can break through the 1.50-1.55 area it will be quite a bullish sign. Not sure how to post a chart to illustrate my point but that’s my take on it anyway. Notice also there's been a few insto's accumulating since the start of the year.

Well today its up 8 at 1.56. Not just because they've appointed an Aussie director, surely? What gives?

I think it may have something to do with this announcement: Qantas Statement

More: Macquarie 'in bidding for Qantas'

A bit of speculative fall-out ?

[Bobby_Fischer]

Thanks PT, knew there had to be something more. Its hard to see how this development is especially positive for AIR. If Macquarie succeeded in taking a stake in Qantas, then moved on AIR (Govt. would be happy to sell a cornerstone sharehlding, one imagines), there would still be no (apparent) scope for synergies due to regulators' recent rulings re. collusion.

THIS move on QAN is not an open and shut case because of money only more will be said latter but AIR has NO need for Fear as NO body would want IT.. [8D]

Has anyone thought about AIR moving its office to FIJI in the middle of a coup. Its office workers in FIJI its mechanics in CHINA what a team. [:o)]macdunk

HAS anyone noticed that all has gone quiet on shifting the AIR office work to FIJI. I expect that they will now get their office work done for three bowls of rice a day when the dust settles.[:o)]macdunk
