(For the life of me I could never understand having 4 A380's in Auckland at the same time).

My understanding of this rather peculiar situation was that costs to overnight their aircraft in Australia were so prohibitive, it was cheaper all round for them to add the extra service to NZ, ex Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne to park up during the day then leave again at 5.45pm to those aforementioned airports, pick up the crowds there, then north to Alask.....Dubai. Rumour had it that even if they flew completely empty, it was worth it NOT to o'nite in AUST. I flew to Dubai biz on one of these circuits, and coming back from Sydney to AKL, the ratio of stewardesses to passengers was about 3 to 1. Terrific service, even if a little overwhelming

Correct but they arrived in Australian ports in the mornings which fitted in nicely to do Tasman return flights during the day and then fly back to Dubai in the Australian evenings. No parking at Auckland required. It will be interesting what they will do after the change over.

Thanks for clarifying Triple Seven, whats that old adage - planes on the ground cost money, better in the AIR with bums on seats

The hound can still go on an Emirate A380 first class out of Christchurch of course...having to slum it on Jetstar to fly AKL - CHC is only a slight turn-off... :-)

oi oi is someone having a dig :-)

Yes they highlighted this point to me in an email...they know where their key NZ clients are based :-) Seriously not worried currently... actually in London enjoying unseasonally warm weather and admiring tonight the christmas lights on oxford street..tomorrow attend a good EPL game...have to live in the moment.

worry is like interest paid before it due :-)

This is great news and something I've been saying since AIR started flying to Argentina. They have a huge opportunity with Asian tourists visiting South America https://www.nbr.co.nz/article/argent...gh-nz-b-208785

Solid result for the month considering the fuel supply challenge. Credit to the team for scrambling with their fuel logistics to minimize disruption to passengers.
Revenue per available seat kilometer group wide year to date excl impact of foreign exchange is up 2.1%.
Looking at those numbers for Sept you'd almost be tempted to ask what fuel supply problem ?
"Without in any way wanting to minimize their prospects of cost recovery against any potential liable party"

Short haul going well while long haul revenues are in decline v last year

Overall revenue growth shrinking month by month - like August growth was lower than July and September lower than August. YTD revenue growth now about 4%/5%

How’s fuel costs going I wonder - still about us$70?
