So the company had 21 widebody aircraft for the past two decades, but in the future, they’re planning on having a smaller widebody fleet? Despite the NZ pop growing by 20%?
As they will own the remaining 77W’s - it wouldn’t surprise me if they do what a lot of airlines do, and the retirement date looms closer, and they keep them going.
