A positive for Air NZ.

Pity it's protected by a paywall. Can you give us some idea what the article is about?

No Qantas / American Airlines alliance

Strange - no paywall when I read the article.

Yes, as W69 wrote, US DOT rejected Qantas and AA proposal to have a deeper and closer alliance filed in July last year and Qantas has decided to drop the proposal altogether instead of appealing.

I recall Air NZ sp dropping on the news last year so this is positive for Air NZ.

Paywalls on both journals (wsj and Australian). Maybe you subscribed to both whilst having a glass of red and forgot about it?

Anyway, it's all in the Daily Telegraph

All very vague from Gary with "trying to go somewhere and Air New Zealand... well the plane didn't leave and so forth. They said they would switch [me] to another flight and they didn't. I said, 'This was unacceptable'."The 65-year-old said he couldn't recall exactly when the disagreement happened. "I fly a lot. It wasn't last week. I can't even remember,"
Story updated with a release from AIR supporting the decision to ban him under standard procedures "In cases where there are behavioural issues over a long period of time and/or are serious enough for the Police to be involved, there comes a point where Air New Zealand is no longer willing to accept some customers for carriage on our services."

Not sure where he gets the comment he stopped being a member of Koru when they changed things and he couldn't take his family in. I just took my wife and 3 children in to Koru both Auckland and Brisbane on my membership without issue.

Me thinks Gary not going to fair well on this one and good on AIR for taking a stand against someone full of self importance not becoming to their stature.

I am pleased to see the SP hit 2.10 and showing some strength and a happy holder looking ahead, missed out on buying more at the 1.70s range thinking weakness was going to hang around for a while. Should have flipped the coin again and gone best out of three......

Maybe he used to take his wife and kids in for free food and a drink before he caught a flight . They now require you to be actually flying with Air NZ to use the lounge , he also mentions holding meetings there as if it was a second office .

Haha - I hope not!

But seriously, it was not paywall while it is now. Wonders of cyber space.

The A380 might not have been profitable for Airbus thus far, but it has however been profitable for airlines where the aircraft have been strategically deployed to routes with very high PAX levels and/or capacity constrained airports. Examples of highly successful A380 routes include DBX-LHR, DBX-BKK, SIN-LHR, and there are many others.

AIR's decision not to purchase an A380 is based purely on their own economics for a relatively small regional airline and is not reflective on the aircraft itself.

How do you know those routes are profitable? It may just be having committed to a capital investment it has to be utilised. If the A380 was a profitable aircraft then there would have been further orders for them. New orders and Airbus would still be manufacturing them. It was quite the contrary orders were cancelled. Filling an A380 to capacity does not mean it's making a profit. It all depends on the yield. There are numerous operating constraints ($$$$) it incurs related to its size.

Thanks for sharing mate. Quite an interesting development, what do you make of it ?

Implications for their existing code share arrangements ?

Thanks for that Balance.

Possible explanation for recent rise in sp...
