VBA + AIR or AIZ (Air New Zealand)

[On Guard]

AMC- I said why in my post, growth and defence. PB/JQ have a lower cost base so at the same fare are making more/losing less than ANZ having to match those fares. They are being attacked domestically, trans tasman and more international to come I predict. Also regional NZ to come from PB.

PB out of NZ- maybe but why would they bring they EMB here and open up new ports. The EMB would be ideal to link those ports and offer more freq on the main truck and VB has excess of them. Had VB not got into trouble I may agree with you but the airframes are possibly better served in the NZ domestic markets than losing more in AU.
