How are you defining 'price gouging'?
Are they making excessive profits?

anyone made sense of the op stats...
The prices seem reasonable but I wonder if the airlines previous approach of not refunding New Zealand customers for services they could not provide may cause consumers to think twice before booking? If consumers believe a local outbreak, such as the one in Auckland, or government buy-out could cause cancelled flights they may be reticent about booking.
I received refunds for my international air fares for this year booked last year with AIR - ACKL - COPEN return business class a few weeks ago. Refund took 8 weeks to process from AIR. They are refunding international travel air fares. I will probably book singapore next time but i did enjoy the 787 last time but singapore have the new air bus and might try that next time, 2022.
Thanks W(n) only 30 % local travel down is pretty good. Maybe the government can send everyone in government back and forth for a while and that will prop up the profits, only 60 million a month. Just send all government departments around the country to work desk destinations and that should also prop up the commercial property market.
Get the departments out and about to meet the customers, i mean the to be poor penniless tax payer people because they did not take up Mr O great offer of direct bonds purchases...
just do a BOJ and get MR O to buy bonds direct from AIR... simple..
I got a refund for a Nth American fare while I waited on the phone - took the person around 15min while they reversed all the little bits, taxes etc, for 2 people.
I'm not surprised it took 8 weeks - seemed like a lot of key pressing to unwind it all so multiply that by the numbers wanting refunds ...
Only Beagle could accuse a company of being technically insolvent, burning $100m cash a month and of price gouging in the same day! :D
