Solo travel in my '50's - I am grateful for the opportunity to do this, and so many other things.
-being able to ask for support
-having developed a mindfulness habit and gratitude practice
-trusting the process
-having my sense of adventure and humour intact

Yes- 100%
We also need to #renationalise anything that has been #privatised, not just this time, but also under Douglas, English & Key

Tofu, vegetables, salads, and for dessert a chia chocolate mousse. The food in Air New Zealand Koru Lounge is becoming more and more plantbased. Just saying. 😊💚 #plantbased @vegsoc.bsky.social @plantbasedtimes.bsky.social @plantbasednews.bsky.social #airnz #💚 @greenpeace.org.nz @greenpeace.org

Interesting discussion, not enough but certainly not a good taste after.

Climate champ takes aim at Christopher Luxon, Air New Zealand Sir Jonathon Porritt has also fired barbs at Air New Zealand saying "it's trashing its own reputation".

British environmentalist Sir Jonathon Porritt says he was a "mug" to proudly chair #AirNZ's sustainability panel, Luxon’s a hypocrite, & the airline is a " #climate leader no more" 😢 I’m ashamed of #AirNZ & this #National #Act #NZF Govt! #climatechange #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

RNZ Headline highlighting: "Air New Zealand partners with OpenAI in bid to help avoid flight delays" Prepare for Americanised, hallucinated schedules that make your kiwi flying experiences even worse

And... there goes Air New Zealand's reliability.

#airnz just cancelled my domestic flight.

Happens all the time I guess but this one hurt. Landed from UK (after 24 hours in the air) at 02:45 and endured a 5 hour wait for the now cancelled flight. Now I have another 5 hour wait until the one they've stuck me on. No other option.
Not good enough.

Is this the sell signal from Air NZ? The airline's capital management is in question as its CEO rides into the sunset.

I'm travelling in October and while looking at the many airlines we chose AIRNZ because that is NZ's airline
Loyalty was tested due to internal/ external flights being expensive. Dropping NZ routes was reckless.
They are trying to win over the shareholders and need to win over New Zealanders

Hi Bluesky
Just thought I'd jump over here from Instagram to say hello.
This is an image from Tasman Lake in New Zealands South Island. A Glacier fed lake. Very beautiful at sunrise.

Fokker F-27-100 Friendship ZK-BXG in original NAC scheme at Momona (Dunedin) airport in the 1960s. ZK-BXG went on from NAC to Air NZ and was retired in the late 1980s. After 30-odd years outside she narrowly escaped becoming a cockpit section, and a large portion of the airframe is now on display. https://ferrymeadaero.org.nz/about/fokker-friendship-zk-bxg/

Lockheed L-188 Electra ZK-TEA 'Aotearoa' (1960s, location unknown). ZK-TEA was acquired by TEAL in 1959 and continued in TEAL and later Air New Zealand service until 1972. It was coverted to a freighter and was operated by Fred Olsens from 1973 to 1997. The aircraft was scrapped at Coventry in the UK in 2006, and we were able to acquire the cockpit section and ship it back to NZ. The cockpit section is currently hibernating in our workshop.

Came across these lovely colour pics of two aircraft from our collection on Dave's Old Slides Flickr here: flic.kr/ps/DZJyD. Dave's photostream is well worth a look for general NZ nostalgia in glorious colour. #ferrymead #nzhistory #aviation #nzaviation #fokker #f27 #lockheed #electra #avgeek #airnz
