Interestingly that broker valued VAH at half their present market price to arrive at $2.64 which was also before the collapse in oil prices. I'm not sure that taking such an aggressive approach to discounting the strategic value of VAH is appropriate given, a) The aforementioned dramatic drop in oil prices, b) The fact that VAH recently announced at the ASM that they're currently trading profitably and again this was before the Opec discord, c) The strategic route expansion opportunities the VAH shareholding brings to AIR, d) VAH are already working their rationalisation of routes and fleet with their yet to be finalised takeover of the 40% of Tiger they didn't already own for $1.
I reckon it's worth the face value they're trading at on the (ASX 41 cents) so that takes the fair value to $2.85 BEFORE oil prices fell off the face of a cliff.

Roger how much of their aviation gas requirements do they hedge the price on and how far forward ?

Air New Zealand holders may be interested in this.

They say that alcohol is the root of all evil don't they master

Ban it on planes I say ...at least it would stop all this drinking and rooting by their staff, and some high flying celebs.

Seems like it arrived back in NZ and is being checked out by Air NZ engineering staff.

It's unclear from the article when it will be back flying again.

Oil rout continues at pace

Qantas up another 5% last time I checked a few minutes ago. Those old kangaroo planes must be pretty thirsty or AIR SP reaction a bit under-done or some combination thereof.

Welcome to the forum unhuman and thanks for the status update on the affected plane. Good first post

Interesting and informative article about the 787 and how they are performing in actual airline service, three years after delivery. Generally airlines seem to be happy with them, apart from the early glitches. Depending what measures you use and what planes are being replaced airlines are getting up to 27% savings on fuel, however up to 20% cost saving seems to be about the average on a per passenger basis.

The article is about the 787-8 and from what I hear the results from the 787-9 are slightly better. The reliability issues seem to be mostly fixed so Air New Zealand should be happy with the 787-9.

AirNZ have 10 787s on order and 10 options. I'm picking that they will take up all those options to replace the 777-200 aircraft by 2020 - there was some AirNZ advice a while back that the 777-200 were still good until about 2020.
