    The shacking up arrangement between Queer and Nasty Airlines and Cullen Airlines is a body blow to Virgin(Under Arm Bowlers Division) and risks Lee Kwan Yew Airlines losing their investment in Virgin. They must respond or quit the skies.

    Here comes TigerAir and Scoot.

    An Airbus A350-900 parked up at Wellington under lights

    Testing how it can handle short runways and windy conditions

    Rumour AIR quite keen on these as replacements for the 777s .....and if capable of flying long haul out Wellington (maybe even Dunedin) would Give them further optionality.

    Hope they will make sure safe landing. If they expand runway it is so much better in safety wise. Experience wise both Singapore airlines and AIR are in front.Malaysian Airlines also was doing well but disappearance and crash of some flights stopped me using their airlines although I used once after those incidence. I seriously think safety before anything.

    Long haul out of Wellington will never happen with the existing runway. Payload penalty to the north would make it unprofitable. AIR could operate long haul out of Christchurch but elect not to. The airline is Auckland centric. Always has been and always will.

    Unsubsidised long haul out of Wellington even with the runway extension won't happen period.

    The Singapore Airlines Capital Express was a half assed long haul connection, the new connection through Melbourne is nice, but its not truely long haul.

    Also long haul out of Dunedin will never happen. Its barely even sustaining the Virgin Brisbane route.

    Agree. All this A350 nonsense of trailing it out of Wellington was about was impressing AIR's management of its short take off and landing abilities. Hopefully they see through the fun of lightly loaded full throttle takeoff's and they see some realism that these A350's are a super expensive option and carbon fiber is useless if all that happens is that airlines pass on the fuel savings to customers with lower airfares.
