ANZ just announced their intention is to use the 787-9 for high yield Asian destinations from NZ. They seem to have this bizzare theory that their target market wish to pay full fares to travel on state of the art aircraft with state of the art inflight entertainment etc etc. What are they thinking? Utilizing a legacy airline/ reputation to grow their business. Don't they know/ listen/ follow Alan Joyce...? The Kiwis need to start up a LCC, several of them, donate the new aircraft and cut the "mainline" business to ensure the future for all..
