I had a similar "experience" with that ad, Air NZ's operation is very poor in Malaysia. I got the ad in a Malaysian state with regular Scoot (owned by Singapore Airlines) services to Singapore but no option to fly from any city in the state to NZ despite huge demand in this state for the route (lots of Malaysians study, live, visit and do business in NZ and vice versa NZers in Malaysia) and the fact that flying via Singapore is faster than flying via KL.
With Air Asia no longer flying to NZ, Malaysia Airlines losing money and the Malaysian government talking about selling it off or closing it down the opportunity clearly exists for Air NZ to fly direct to KL. Must be one of the few profitable routes left for Malaysia Airlines. Wonder if Air NZ's agreement with Singapore Airlines prevents this? Singapore Inc dislikes losing anyway to Malaysia after all!
A friend sent me the link to this article with the comment — Falling profits, falling ratings, will Luxon soon be a falling star? After six years as CEO it may well be time for him to move on.
I said a few times he’s not the AIRleader he once was ...too many distractions and appears to be less enthusiastic about AIR than before. When does his big retention bonus period run out?
Profits this year heading to multi year lows ...some effort

SP is doing fine though isn't it, canny buyers are on a heap of profit already and it isn't really relevant whether the CEO has Jacinda eyes, or her smile, it's just about enjoying the extraordinary dividends and then getting out when the charade is exposed. Which seems a while away at this stage.
So all good, enjoy the ride while it lasts.
I listened in to the half year call in late February 2019. One of the analysts asked Chris Luxon if he was happy and staying on and he replied in an upbeat way that he feels very fortunate to have the best job in the country. I think he's very happy. Operationally its been a very tough year but I think he enjoys the challenge and I'm pleased he's there.
I bought more at $2.47 cum divvy a little while ago, (effective price $2.36 ex divvy). Although I didn't pick the bottom it only went under $2.30 for one day so I'm not beating myself up in any way and am actually proud of myself to have the courage to back my own analysis and buy more against what at times is some fairly emphatic negativity on here.
Air New Zealand named Pacific's best airline - must be doing quite a few things right https://www.msn.com/en-nz/news/natio...cid=spartandhp
Oh dear.. Looks like the Rolls Royce engine issues aren't getting any better...the newer Trent TEN engines with same problems.

Also Jetstar has a 787-8 stuck in Japan with GE engine issues..
Both engines suffered surge issues while landing in Osaka... Will post the link to that article if I find it again...
This looks terrible Benny1. Boeing´s engineer´s sure are busy, with the Dreamliners and 737 MAX !!
They certainly don't seem to build them like they used too!

Methinks it’s more than just Boeing’s engineers that are busy at the moment
Seems Boeing’s pursuit of excessive profits over the last decade have lead to many dodgy practices even if you only believe a few if the revelations that are coming out since the MAX crashes.
the reduced AIR fares to Christchurch are over. They appear to be recovering the lost margin by charging like a wounded bull. Just had to stump up $730 Akl - Chc return for a flight 2.5 weeks away....
