I think if AIR do things well, they have a real opportunity with Asian travelers going to South America when AIR starts their Buenos Aires flights. Tourism from China to South America is growing fast and currently most of them travel via Europe. Going via NZ is a good option, except maybe the fact that they still need visitor visas (I think), even when in transit !
Agreed. Must admit the Andes looked absolutely stunning in that recent infamous Top Gear special. Gotta be careful with your number plate eh mate :)
P.S. Just announced a sale
Quote:
Buenos Aires, the most popular tourist city in South America, is on sale now with Economy fares from just $899* one way from Auckland, Wellington or Christchurch.
Rich in history and culture, you can spend days exploring the famous barrios, shop for bargains in one of the many craft and antique markets, enjoy fine wines and the world famous barbequed meats at a local parrillada restaurant.
The city is also a perfect stepping stone for those who want to go on to explore more of South America with a non-stop flight from Auckland to Buenos Aires, 3 times a week.
Hurry, sale ends midnight 7 April 2015.
I would love to see AIR get more aggressive into Guangzhou China as China Southern increase capacity. I know their HKG flight services that area I'm sure they could target it directly more?
Just received an email from Air NZ advising their flights to BA will start on 4 December and opens for bookings today. Compared AIR & LAN for flights over there in December and back in Jan. Cheapest economy is $1,900 cheaper with AIR and Business Class in $ 1,800 cheaper. I think they are onto a winner with this one ! Can't wait !
SP decline in reaction to slight uptick in oil price looks well overdone to me.

Air tightens flight deck rules...good operators these guys.
Oil pricing is still very much to the downside, I expect this whole Yemen situation to fall over in a few days/a week and then oil will continue back down to where it was (Brent $52ish and WTI $43ish), then you will see some positive movement from AIR again. I imagine this is good buying down here, just my 2c.....
I take a different view Roger and am disappointed they have been this slack on safety for so long. This should have been done a long time ago like many other airlines did

I respect your opinion mate. I think a lot of it comes down to the psychological testing and profiling that an airline does on its pilots in the first instance and Air came out yesterday and said there's is intense.
On CNBC this morning they interviewed a leading aviation security expert and after this tragedy and the Malaysian airlines one last year he was calling for more thorough psychological and mental health testing as part of pilots periodical medical's. Seems logical to me.
