Air New Zealand chief executive Greg Foran has announced his resignation, and is set to leave the airline in October after five years at the helm.
Foran described leading the national carrier as a great privilege, highlighting the resilience of its employees amid industry challenges.
Board chair Dame Therese Walsh praised his leadership, particularly during the COVID-19 crisis and ongoing global supply chain issues affecting the airline’s fleet.
The board will conduct a global search for his replacement, with Foran working alongside the new CEO before his departure on October 20.
Looks like the rate is jumping the ship before the COVID hearing coming is coming up
Greg Foran headed the heist of millions from the public,…stealing covid era flights and not refunding, instead rewarding staff with bonuses
A rat leaving the insolvent Air New Zealand
I always wonder how the rest of the family, wife and 4 adult kids, feel about having such a father.
A captive monopoly flights market. How hard could it be?
Political career beckons?
Another Rat jumping ship.
Air New Zealand offers cheap fares between the main centres and screws the regions. Why not make it fairer and spread the cost evenly.
I hate air New Zealand but have no alternative choice. Hence I hardly ever fly anywhere
It may be somewhat expensive to own a Cessna 150, 152 or 172, but in the end I don’t have to deal with the dangerous roads, impatient immature drivers with the rugby mentality of trying to get ‘one-up’ on other drivers, and the hassles at the airports around the country.
And, my fuel doesn’t contain the usual Chem-Trail additives such as barium, mercury, nano-tech, hydro-gels or Morgellon strands.
Granted, the cost of upkeep is steep, with annual inspections every year, and maintenance + fuel, but if you are going from island-to-island, the cost is offset with faster speed for the distances covered, and less fuel expense when compared to driving winding roads at variable speeds.
Last year’s cost on my 172’s annual inspection and maintenance parts including some labour (I also have a Ground Engineers Licence..that helps to offset the cost of the mechanics in part) was $4100.00. (1 re-built cylinder, suction pump, alternator terminal replacement, oil change, nose gear strut seal replacement and a new battery).
Compare this to my Ford Ranger being only 4 years old, and the WOF last time costing $2372.00 at a Ford Dealership due to brake replacements, tyres, and servicing.
The $1700 or so difference indicates better distances covered, time saved, and initial costs spread out per nautical mile / kilometer as compared to driving.
But whether you’re on the ground driving or in the air, the weather must always be a factor in the go / no-go decision.
That is a given in any circumstance.
What a burden to the N Z taxpayer get rid of it we don’t need another weight around our necks.
I have witnessed air nz flights dropping chemtrails. They are players. Insidioys business.
The only reason Air NZ has survived
Is because it has got an open cheque book
And to keep chem trails coming
Its all a bit flakey
