AIR NZ Changes International Schedules
Edited text of News Item from Fairfax website
Air NZ to cut 13 international flights a week
WELLINGTON, Jan 15 NZPA|Published:
Tuesday January 15, 8:23 PM
Terrorist attacks in the United States and Air New Zealand 's restructuring were behind the airline's decision to drop 13 international flights a week to Asia and America, according to one analyst.
Taking effect from March and April, Air NZ will decrease the number of long haul flights to both Honolulu and Los Angeles by two flights a week. It will also be reducing flights from Osaka, Taipei and Hong Kong.
Air NZ will also be increasing its service to Tokyo from five times a week to a daily service. Japan is Air NZ's second-biggest market after Australia.
Air NZ will also increase its services from Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch to Brisbane to cater for New Zealanders crossing the ditch for their mid-winter holiday. But they will be paying more to do so.
On Saturday Air NZ increased domestic and trans-Tasman economy fares by up to $150 in a battle to return to profitability. They were in addition to price increases in November of up to $100 for fares to Australia.
Air NZ's shares closed at 31c.

Boeing Belly, I have trouble figuring people like you out - your biggotry blinds you to facts and reason - if ANZ taking pax to BNE is "riding on Australia's back", what is QF's presence in the NZ domestic market?? - I would say it was a business oportunity being intelligently used by QF - how is tapping into the NZ-QLD leisure market by ANZ not the same? (A market, by the way, in which BNE civic leaders have stated they are very pleased to have ANZ operating).

No, United pick up passengers in their OWN country and fly them to and from another. AirNZ pick up passengers in SOMEBODY ELSES country and fly them to and from SOMEBODY ELSES country. QF fly people to and from the US offering them a stop-over in Aukland. Nobody flies from NZ to the US with a stop-over in Australia!
Well - given that the Australian Government has given Air NZ the rights to fly these routes, how does that make them bludging off Aussies.
If the have seen a business oppotunity and have regulatory approval to take advantage of that oppotunity then where is the problem?
It's called business - something that Australians have to come to grips with.

Boeing Belly, you really are a confused soul! The BNE/QLD "bucket and spade" market was what was initially referred to - and is largely NZ'ers holidaying in Aussie - re SYD-LAX etc - bear in mind QF also operates AKL-LAX - Kiwi's tvl QF AKL-LAX, Aussies tvl NZ SYD - LAX - it's called choice - the market rules - what IS your problem with this?? And your UA analogy is not correct - ex NZ/Aust UA uplifts people who are not all US nationals - so everyone is riding on top of everyone, to use your expression - THAT's BUSINESS - Airlines, like all busines, make money wherever they can - ever heard of tghe GLOBAL market??

Most probably quite a few kiwis coming over here for a "maternity holiday" on our Medicare system. And don't forget they can always apply for a First Home Owner's grant even though they may own a property in NZ. <img src="mad.gif" border="0"> <img src="mad.gif" border="0">
BB - where did I say I don't like the way things are done over here.
Flat Side Up - I am a Kiwi and despise those countrymen of mine who come over here to be on the dole. I pride myself on my work ethics.
Also the First Home owners grant is available to any permanent resident who hasn't owned a property here. That includes, among others, New Zealanders, Americans, Canadians, Brits, Indonesians, Mongolians, Belorussians, Martians, Singaporeans, Japanese, Irish, Scandanavians, Fijians, Bhutanese, Venezualans.
Overall - remember that all these things you are whinging about have been alloowed by your government - so complain to them.
I do suggest that both of you see a doctor about the serious case of brain farts you both seem to posess.

None of these agreements are made without some sort of reciprocal arrangement AVAILABLE to the other country's carriers. Reeeelax boys.
Kiwi Land still remains a good investment with its lower dollar - I've got a little shack there that I rent on a casual basis to the locals, then siphon the money o/s. N.Z.'s a nice place to relax, ski cheaply, eat out at very reasonable prices, and enjoy the journey back into the 70's. However as many Gold Coast (esp. Robina) residents will attest "Et's a cool place to vusit, but ewe wouldn't want to heff to luve theer! Oz - good as gold for me!"

Duck Muck - the nationalising ( Government Bailout) doesn't really mean anything in relation to Boing Belly's supposed argument above. Air NZ is still a NZ flagged company with rights of freedom granted by Australia to carry passengers from Australia to wherever - whether it is owned by shareholders/institutions or by the Government.
I do agree that Helen has to go.

ANZ once again relying on Australia to prop them up. Just like the Australian tax payers have done by supporting their economy (if you can call it that)for years and that of your sovereign islands. We are sick of Kiwis coming over here and bludging off hard working Australians while they get a tan at Bondi. The NZ decision to get rid of the A4's is now costing Australia an extra $150 million per annum. ANZ pillage Ansett when they realise they never had the money to run it and forgot to have a close look at it before they bought it (they borrowed the first interest payment off the Australian Government) then pour all their fuel and catering costs into Australia and walk away and complain about Kiwi bashing! We are sick of NZ they are a very poor cousin and have done nothing but take from our country. GET OUT AND STAY OUT!

I stated the facts. When you kiwis respond with abuse and personal insult it demonstrares just how mendicant you are.
Put simply Aystralians do not like being ripped off.
You can bet I am complaining to my local member about the various rorts by kiwis. Not only that, after recent events there are a lot more of us doing the same thing. And we will keep complaining till it is fixed.

Jeremy Clarkson's got it right, although it took a helluva lot of space to say it.
Paraphrasing for him:
Australians are very choosy as to whom we allow in!
Unlike the U.K. and N.Z. - yes, it is easier for immigrants to get into N.Z. than Oz. They got our last boatload of REJECTS...remember? And Kiwi Land having its own version of Brixham, a little town named Wellington.
Sounds as though Mr Clarkson had a visa application rejected. However, considering his fear of snakes, spiders, and other outdoor creatures, and obviously suffering from an extremely thin skin, ("It's bad enough for a British person who's only there on holiday. Every time you walk into a pub, you get the same reaction.
"Backs to the wall everyone. There's a Pom in the bar," followed by: "Hide your wallet under the soap. He won't find it there."), he may be well advised to take a journey to the home of the "Poms of the Pacific" - with Air New Zealand, of course!

There's never a shortage of posts when it comes to a bit of Kiwi bashing. Flat Side Down an Boeing Guts (on probation) were in the thick of it when Ansett went down and are into it again now the subject has been raised. It's not surprising many kiwis don't post on Pprune Dunnunda because the guys I've talked about it with in the middle of the night say there's too many wan**rs.
