ATR72's For Pac Blue
Rumour has it that it won't be the Ejet but 5 ATR72's will be running around domestically, suspect flown by disaffected Mount Cook drivers. Well that is what the loaders at Dunedin have heard?

The DJ & ATR rumors do seem to be going around alot. But does PacificBlue really have the cash flow to make it happen!
If they did get ATR's I'm sure they would be second hand ones!

The biggest drop on the prices, was on the routes that PB and J* do not operate on.

Surely the ATR is cheaper to run than the E190?
Which would mean if DJ started flying them here, NZ would still be making a nice profit.
If DJ goes regional, its highly unlikely that they will be business friendly. Just look at CHC-AKL the last flight of the day leaves at 1430!

Uncle Koru wouldn't give two hoots if he lost some NM drivers to PB. The Link carriers make all the dosh yet they get treated like the retarded cousin who no one can be assed with...
I reckon the ranks would empty pretty quick if another ATR operator came on the scene. All type rated ready to go and have a command while you're at it. Cheers.
Anybody want a herbal?

The company isn't going to fail soon with the 28 Aug reported profit of $118M.
The potential problem is that a good bit of this profit was intl currency related.

Pac Blue ATR's that would be interesting. Their new GM is ex Mt Cooker. Maybe he has good data on it?
Heard that Airbus and Boeing not interested in doing a deal on aircraft price due to having their production for A320 and Boeing 737 sold out for a good number of years. And air nz doesn't buy domestic jets unless they are being phased out of production....

It's only NM and NSN that make the dosh for Air NZ. One would think a smart company would ensure it's profit earning sides of the company remain so and puts more money back into the fleets instead of throwing more money away on flash Jets that make a loss.

Air NZ to offer economy class 'seat-beds'
Such luxury may be coming for economy passengers. File photo / Supplied
Air New Zealand is set to offer economy passengers the chance to spread out in comfort in a new seat design if there is an empty space next to them, according to a report.
For a fee of around $150, passengers will be able to convert their seat and the one next to them into a seat-bed. The move would be a world first, the Sydney Moring Herald says today, and could earn Air NZ millions.
Passengers would only be able to book the extra seat if space is available when they check-in. A source told the newspaper the seat arrangement would involve both seats sliding forward with the seat rest raising up. Foot room would disappear and the passenger could spread out across both seats.
Air NZ is to receive a number of Boeing 777-300ER aircraft at the end of next year and is not giving much away about its new interiors ahead of that.
Basic details of the new seat-beds, which could be in place within six months, came from Air NZ international group general manager Ed Sims at an investor briefing last week. It is thought Air NZ could sell the seat design to other airlines.

To answer question 4, Air NZ is going for the 737-800. It is going to replace the entire fleet, both the 737-300 and the A320.
