Great marketing sound bite however hard to believe how they came up with that one..young age of aircraft must be heavy weighted as innovations they mentioned are years old and in most cases being phased out on newer planes !

It's all 'spin' Raz, as you know. The share trader promoters of AIR could make a meal of it, but are strangely silent. Might be the uncertainty in the SP for the past few months.

Jet fuel up to about us$73 a barrel

That’s not even mentioned on the chart in AIRs preso showing impact of fuel costs relative to their forecast us$60 (inclusive of all hedging)

Looks like fuel bill going to $70m/$80m more than forecasted.

No doubt about it, fares are going to have to go up because the $Kiwi is lower than forecast too. Sure they have great currency and fuel hedging in place that gives them time to adjust their business model but it will need some adjustment in the months ahead that's for sure and customers will need to be prepared to pay more.

Enjoy cheap air fares while they last. Oil is now in a clear breakout of its recent trading range and it appears the MK2 Opec, (much closer collusion with Russia now), seem intent on sticking with production cuts and driving prices higher. Might be a good time to revisit AIR's hedging strategy. From memory they are about 80% hedged for the rest of FY18 which gives AIR plenty of time to tweak their business model. Travelers have had golden weather for a few years now with super cheap airfares on the back of very cheap oil. A reminder that AIR have often mentioned that yield and oil costs are inextricably linked so over time you would expect yields will need to increase to cover the extra cost.
