Will be interesting to see what effect this article in todays Stuff has on AIR's SP action today/ by end of this week.
Might open a few eyes!
Has been the most extraordinary disconnect between SP & reality.
I know this forum discourages copy & paste of newspaper articles but this one seems to be a copy, paste & stitch of this thread!
Not clear if you mean the article appears to be a 'copy & paste' of the narrative on this thread, or we shouldn't 'copy & paste' links to newspaper articles on this thread?
Anyway the point intended was that this article in today's Stuff might spook a few investors this week & cause a bit of a collapse in the SP.
I see Rob Fyfe also commenting today that businesses should plan on borders being closed for 2 or 3 years & that even with high vaccination rates business travel will become more complex due to stringent health checks resulting in a reduction in business travel & necessitating adapting to new ways of doing business.
Can imagine companies weighing up risks of company executives travelling overseas being forced into lockdown due to an outbreak in that country & unable to return home.

Rather than the borders being closed for two or three years, I suspect that borders could be routinely opened & closed over that period in reaction to outbreaks of new variants. Perhaps that was point the article meant to make, but was not clear upon.

I can't help wondering how many new and even more dangerous variants will emerge in the years ahead. Will we still be battling dangerous new variants in the 2030's ?
What are the implications for travel ? Surely business's will try everything in their power to avoid the risk of sending their executives to physical meetings overseas and resort to digital meetings ?
What are the implications for demand for premium seats at the front end of the aircraft where most of the money is made ?

Interesting article in the Herald today about the rise of the retail investor through platforms like Sharsies.
Where are they investing their money ?

Not targeting value anyway. At least MFT is on there. Of interest to me is will NZF and USF still be on there in 12 months now sharesies charges buy/sell fees on those now and investnow, smartshares etc don't.
Anyway back on topic it maybe explains the share price being so high.
Like most here I can't relate the SP to reality. Tough times for airlines (and Gamestop).
