I’m sure Jacinda and Winston can’t wait for AirNZ to expand overseas.

Using your logic why doesn’t Qantas and or Rex decide to fly in NZ as well? Well financed and lots of aircraft and crews......expand Jetstar Nz by a factor of 4 plus maybe?
Qantas tried, remember? They failed. Jetstar tried. They have partially failed after cancelling the Q300 flights and cutting back the A320 schedule late last year.

If NZ spend that money to fly Australia domestic there will be such a hue and cry to the extent that you have never seen before
