AIR - Air NZ.

Only Beagle could accuse a company of being technically insolvent, burning $100m cash a month and of price gouging in the same day!

Be grateful I didn't get the time today to comment on the shocking July operating statistics

equity raises should see the number of share tripple, im expecting 50 cents... the GOVMT has basically closed its eyes for months and just dont want to see there equity decimated ... smashed... crushed... pulverised ... almost eviscerate!... it basically a slow train wreck... sorry a long glide path to a belly landing ... brace brace brace..

Minister Robinson Crusoe has basically been staring down the runway waving his arms with orange guiding paddles flailing in the air as the 747 comes into land wheels up...turbines spinning slowly...

No no, Grant Robertson will have a cunning plan to save the airline and protect the the taxpayer, backed by sound advice from that intellectual colossus the Ministry of Transport.

There is also the slight possibility his execution skills will revert to the mean for a Labour cabinet minister.

Boop boop de do

Not a bad effort for one day. Reminds me of the old Meat Loaf song, "two out of three ain't bad". Leave it for others to judge if Auckland to Hokitika return for $878 is price gouging or not.

What would it have cost pre covid?
Do you think they make much profit on that?

End of the day, cost of flying these days is cheaper than ever before. Just that people now expect to fly Queenstown to Auckland any time for <$300 return, and forget the laws of supply and demand.

Waaaaaay back, 30 years remember I flew AKL-INV on a super-thrifty fare - cheapest possible. $594 back then which the reserve bank tells me that is equivalent of $1,064.74 now.

1st world problems - don't like it, don't fly.

Hand made aero planes probably cost more than a modern flight computer controlled solution. Chips are cheap and manufacturing is automated for many components. Fuel is also cheap now and getting cheaper.

Sounds like it is some time since you purchased the last modern airplane ;

carbon fibre is cheaper then wood ->() when compared to its performance.. 3 D printing is cheaper than putting a person on the job.
