Record Profit for Air NZ
the right stuff
well done to all,it takes all the workforce from the highest to the lowest paid to get a result like this along with having the right leadership,the right fleet & the belief that if things get tough in this ever changing business world you need to get on board & grow with the change-not retreat from it & leave your competitor(s) with what used to be yours.
Flying ANZ this easter for a South Island tour that takes in Wanaka......All accommodation and motorhome booked and paid for via easy to use ANZ website.
Qantas? Who are they?

Lets not forget the Kiwi's have a much more business friendly regulation suite to work with as well. Contrary to the skulls waffle and outright lies in his submission to the trussed up inquiry most Kiwi industry people seem to have little trouble understanding them, unlike the unadulterated piffle CASA serves up in Australia and has the hide to claim is being used as a guide by regulators overseas.
Qantas will be gone inside ten years and the Australian public will be back in the two airline days of $300 one way fares Syd to ML, or cheap fares on foreign registered carries operating on foreign AOC's. As much as Qantas business model is unsustainable the ever increasing cost of over regulation in the pursuit of the safety myth is equally unsustainable.
I believe the Air New Zealand profit adequately illustrates this.

Kiwi's are a smart bunch who are pretty reliable at punching above their weight in tourism, IT and aviation (excluding the AirNZ acceleration of the decimation of Ansett) . Any ideas why?

Yes, but we're not telling.....Like you said, we are a smart bunch.

I take it Neville, that you'd be more than happy with QANTAS going to the wall?
Yes there was a government bailout, but the government has been completely hands off the company since. To the point they sold down their share in the business last year.

except that nev if airnz went to the wall, it wouldve done massive damage to the nz economy.
the govt of the day obviously thought a bailout was the lesser of 2 evils.

Shame Keating did'nt let ANZ fly domestically in OZ as the then Labor party promised then reneged all those years ago
Now ANZ has successfully screwed both the Aussie airlines from that era.

NZ must be picking up lots of Australia flying to LAX, SFO & YVR.
Short memories I guess!
Don't forget who really owns Air NZ...
3 November 2001
Air New Zealand has joined the growing list of airlines around the world that have either collapsed or are on the brink. The country’s Labour-led government was forced to step in last month with a $NZ885 million rescue package to prevent the airline being dragged under by the failure of its Australian subsidiary Ansett. Having purchased an 83 percent stake in Air NZ, the government is now engaged in extensively restructuring the airline in a bid to keep it afloat.
Prime Minister Helen Clark argued that the move was essential to the national interest. A national carrier was needed, she said, to ensure a measure of control and certainty over such vital economic activities as tourism, overseas trade and domestic and international travel. The country’s other main airline, Qantas New Zealand, a privately-owned local franchise of the Australian carrier Qantas, collapsed in April with the loss of 1,100 jobs and debts of over $NZ20 million.
