At a time when the world economy is going pretty well, (without looking at any down sides around the corner) this airline must be able to perform well in the current conditions irrespective of the fuel price.
So Air New Zealand is the only airline that has introduced a fuel surcharge, I think there is a post on this thread that mentions at least one other airline that has a surcharge.
or if we're really lucky there might be more than one interested party (unlikely after the buttf*ck the NZ govt dished out to Singapore last time)
Have to agree on this point, the Government didn't make any friends here.
Eventually it will have to be looked at as a business that must make money, not some charity basket case that pleads to the government every 5 minutes that it needs another handout
Where has it been reported that Air New Zealand has been asking for more money from the Government.
You must be on a different page. I still don't see any facts to back up your headline. Your posts seem to be more sour grapes.
