and when is the government going to start disposing of their shares? Chances may be slim but I think its a question of when not if.

Nice numbers, almost looking good :p.
You got to feel sorry for the fuel hedging department though, they are busy as with those collars, swaps and puts.
And on a lighter note got an interesting piece of research which managed to confuse Qantas with Air New Zealand, or vice versa. I am convinced some one did it deliberately.

Does anyone know which version of the a320/a321 neo air New Zealand ordered?
Looks like the Pratt & Whitney supplied engines are still causing disruption to airlines who use them

Yes...teething problems with new technology engines are not uncommon and it would seem that P & W have worked on resolutions

From memory I think AIR have pushed their A320 / A321 scheduled deliveries later.
Edit - Yes, see pages 61 and 62 of Investor day briefing https://www.nzx.com/files/attachments/259318.pdf
Says the push of 12 months was for newer interiors but perhaps it could be for the newer version of the engine too ?
Anyway, first NEO A320 not due until July 18 and first NEO powered A321 not due until Sept 18. Hopefully Pratt and Whitney have any further technical issues sorted out before then.
That was last year; one year on the problems persist. https://blogs.crikey.com.au/planetal...new-tech-jets/
Quantas delayed their engine choice and finally settled for the CFM ones.
AIR bonds at 4.0% at the moment (before tax)
AiR dividend yield currently about 8.0% (before tax)
Some would say a 4% equity risk premium for an airline is pretty thin .....hmmm
Interestingly PWC use an overall market risk premium of 7.5%
I am sure AIR's top engineers will be keeping well abreast of the very latest information.
Including approx 75 cents per share in specials over FY20-FY23 I am forecasting approx $1.75 in fully imputed dividends over the next five years, (gross $2.43) and average gross dividend yield 14.3%. I am more than happy to hold over that timeframe for that projected return.

Very, very interesting move by American Airlines. Only operating the Auckland to LA route over the summer peak to late March and leaving AIR to benefit as the sole service provider the rest of the year, (the majority of the year).
Jeez - when punters 'buy' the divie after tomorrow's announcement the share price will get to 350 plus
Suppose Chris will wait until the AGM to mention $650m to $700m for F18
Where you at the town hall yesterday?
