AIR - Air NZ.

With all due respect the evidence doesn't appear to back this up. Witness the huge upwards push of most world-wide airlines share prices since the sea change regarding the price of oil a year ago. Airlines, globally haven't been this profitable for many, many years. About time some of them turned a dollar. Interestingly AIR returned a 15% return on invested capital last year when oil was over $100 barrel on average. Augers well for future profits doesn't it !!

Yep couldn't agree more, yet market still seems bit circumspective.

I think its general economic concerns mate. Slightly softer economy and all that. The marketing team did very well to fill the extra circa 6% seat mile capacity increase last year. The "Briscoes" sale strategy seems to be working well so far. The other thing that's being talked up at present is tourism and certainly the dollar falling like it has makes clean green New Zealand a much more attractive destination.

Totally agree, but I must say to my naked eye other airline stocks see a much greater correlation than AIR.

Oh well only 14 days until we find out how well AIR is going eh?

Yeah... that Qantas SP really stings doesn't it !

Didn't notice any more than 3-4 empty seats coming back from Fiji yesterday, also didn't see too many dairy cockies lounging around the pool while I was there. Their chq books definitely closed up, beware HNZ holders.

Good for AIR

BULA !

If the airline business doesn't work out for AIR, they could always move into the media production business
