AIR - Air NZ.

May get to the stage where NZ Government, just cant afford to keep Air NZ afloat anymore and just has to accept Qantas as an ANZAC carrier. Deep pockets maybe, but just how deep, that is the question.

Just depends how deep the resurgence of Covid happens when the 1200 or so NZ Residents/Citizens come back from India.

Apparently its better for NZ if we take back people already infected with COVID from other countries, because it doesnt add to our count, but adds to the country they arrive from. This could be a real disaster that never makes the stats.

Govt still has dough apparently to throw around at anything but directly at the injured productive sectors & businesses - with Govt's Robertson considering / not ruling out Helicopter payments.

God knows how many affected SME's coming out the other side the Govt are expecting to see, or are they still blind to reality ?

It doesn't take many cells to extrapolate that business will be adjusting and repositioning on the other side, with high possibility
of further waves of jobs thrown on the scrap heap, for Govt to have to pick up the pieces on..

Bitterly disappointed that we have announced the cancellation of services to Bueno Aires. We served more than 400k pax over 4+ years on that route. Sth America boss, Alex O has lead a great bunch of professionals who are passionate about @FlyAirNZ @andykirton

AIR market cap still $1.3 billion (even with all that debt)so no worries

You did well getting in with your refund request while they still had a reasonable amount of cash. Now they are starting to draw on the Govt loan at up to 9% interest that will be sharpening their focus on cash conservation. Better use up the rest of my airpoints next week before they run out of money to pay Miter 10.

Actually considering dipping into the Airpoints Advance balance to ensure that they don't owe me anything (other than about $400 worth of flight credit)...
