A380’s out of storage mid next year? If not, what aircraft is he referring to?

The overly optimistic statements of late would probably indicate on the finance front, things are worse than most of us think. You will note he is trying to talk up Domestic at the moment, and analysts have largely agreed in regards to the short term pent up demand, however raised concerns about a expected slump in market conditions from next February.

It’s dragging on, medium term forecasts are a concern and it’s time to get moving to avoid some challenging financial decisions in the near future.

God help us should Miss P click her fingers again.

Really? I'd say from those comments that things are progressing along to a satisfactory standard on a domestic front.

Internationally I reckon his comments aren't too far off. Aircraft planned to be reactivated mid next year would be 330 primarily and maybe 787 as well. This would be to service the locations that would be the first ones probable in a travel bubble, that would be Asian ones. Europe and North America would take longer, and would have to rely on wide vaccine update. Luckily scientists have been doing well with vaccine development, and then hopefully a well managed rollout program is undertaken, which will probably be a requirement for travel on all carriers (please no anti vaxxer rubbish like what's been written on the R&N thread)

I'd say developments in the last few weeks have given cause to optimism for a wide uptake of international flying beyond NZ by mid next year.
