NZ has free skies policy and once the Dubai flights are here it won't be long before they operate Akl - Lax.
This might be why the share price took a significant hit after that announcement.
Thoughts???

Just like Air New Zealand really - sometimes things go wrong beyond an immediate fix.
12 years old =ancient.
So AIR must have some prehistoric airplanes then

I would have thought that you would be keen to understand those other airlines that you keep moaning about the relative valuations of compared to AIR. You might begin to understand the why then.
Go do your homework and no more drinkies till you have finished it .

Admitted they'd had 4 CAA audits since commencement of operations...wonder why so many audits ? and then there was the withdrawal from operations for unscheduled maintenance. Suppose its just as well at least the CAA are doing a thoroughly professional job then isn't it !!
I can't help but wonder if people really understand the risk ?...would you buy your partner a 30 year old car with no ABS brakes or dynamic stability control or any of the other current safety devices and protections and tell them to use that to take the kids to school and back every day ?
You might get one for you partner , but maybe not to take the kids in ....

A lot of people do.
How about a 15 year old car - lots of safety stuff from today not there then.
And cars don't get the maintenance and upgrades aircraft do.

I am sure Emirates would love to fly on from the Shakey Isles or the Land of Underarm Bowlers to the city of the stars.
However American Carriers have a fox in the hen house reaction to encroachments by sand state airlines. Lots of squaking and fluttering of wings. Their brought and paid for hand maidens in the US Congress squak and flutter along in sympathy.

Ps an afterthought; Actually getting the Americans to agree to this would be a worthy task for the men from the Ministry of Transport instead of their usual drinking tea and confiscating passenger water bottles.
