Air NZ set out to destroy them by adding same routes to its schedule, often timed their flights at exactly the same departure times but with a lower price. Once they´d crushed Origin, they withdrew from many of those routes and schedules.
There was nothing level about that playing field !!! It is not healthy for Air NZ to monopolise our domestic regional travel and as an AIR shareholder and frequent flyer I welcome competition with open arms
