looking at figures into AKL today wiith flights arriving about 60 mins apart
NZ SYD/AKL 76pax
QF SYD/AKL 116 pax
EK SYD/AKL 190 pax
NZ BNE/AKL 85pax
EK BNE/AKL 150 pax
EK are not offering the cheapest fares on the Tasman being undercut by NZ/QF/SJ/DJ/AR.
Also understand the cargo rates offered by NZ also cheaper than EK.
Heard EK loadfactor ex NZ was 88% Feb and 70% Mar so looks like there loads are as good if not better than some of the others.
