    Engine problems, crude oil prices going beserk. Now I remember why airlines are valued how they are!

    AIR will do well to come out of all of this unscathed considering all the stuff that has happened this year. Its a testament to the company but says a lot about investing in airlines on a broader scale. Some things are just far out of your control.

    No way to sugar coat this, AIR shareholders should ensure their seat belts are firmly fastened, seat back's upright and tray tables folded away. Depends how many cracked and delaminating turbine blades they find in all the 787's they inspect this week...think I might avoid use of the word "Dream"liner for a while.
    Rolls Royce need to get their **** together, plain and simple. I think AIR's general counsel will be hounding RR for all costs and compensation they can point a stick at.
    Wonder if they need a good contract forensic beancounting hound to sniff out all possible avenues of compensation...I'd be up for that role with a huge amount of gusto.., but alas they probably have it covered already, hence the no change to upbeat forecast statement.

    Yields and fuel prices are inextricably linked. I think this is the least of their problems.

    Does anyone have any knowledge as to what engine it was that blew up on that US SouthWest plane where that woman got killed.
    Sorry if this is completely irrelevant to Air NZ but all the talk about engines on this thread and then this happening made me wonder and I couldnt see any mention of the engine type in the news

    thanks for clarifying that accident is completely un related to the types of engines used by Air NZ.
