I haven’t been back to Auckland in years. What I did notice whilst sitting across from my hotel @ The Novotel Hotel were 2 things. The beautiful view of the Manukau Harbour @ sunset. & the international terminal. Which resembled a large dank,damp cow shed.😂 & surely in this day and age. Domestic & International terminals have to be under one roof. If it costs. It costs. Auckland needs a better terminal both domestic & international. To match the back yard view of the Manukau Harbour. Airlines have no scruples about raising their prices when one browses via their apps without making a decision. Then a minute later you can decide go back in & the same seat has gone up somewhat. It’s the pot calling the kettle black.
AirNZ need to focus on better staff. A recent trip back from Singapore was horrendous. My husband was vomiting from food poisoning for 6 hours and the staff barely battered an eye. We will not fly Airnz again.
I’m fine with the airport working to improve its infrastructure… but again their investment for that new transport hub/ car park hub, is completely short sighted… can we do public train service to our airports please? Do not need a car park hub, when majority uses express public transport to get there. For travellers, if we are honest and practical, always rely on someone to drop us off or pick us up via car or bus. They probably may want to send us off, hence need the car park, or if we drive ourselves, may need extended car parking for our return. When simply express train service would alleviate much reliance on private transport. It’s also efficient as it has higher capacity than busses. And if it’s reliable, it would easily be the preferred option in the long run.
He seems suspicious body language change when arguing that his way is better for the people than commerce commission. How you easy you make business really means how easy is it for business to exploit people.
Wouldn't it be fair to say many people using the facilities might be from other countries and they would spend more in NZ if they were world class? Not sure what this was, was he avoiding something talking about a smart investment? Are those who can't afford to pay for an airport meant to wait until we have flying electric cars, should we be expecting a paradigm shift?
Is he really a stock trader for an investment bank or a manager at an airline company? This interview seems more like a stock analyst passionately discussing tech stocks rather than a conversation that can connect the future of airlines with tech trends.
World is uncertain All over Europe Red alert ( expecting Territories attack ) Russian air space Few Air lines allowed to fly shortest routes ) Currently you have to take longest routes Like shipping companies are having trouble ( because of Yemen ) I agree with him get the hell out Bureaucracy if you wish to improve economy .
Not one mention of protecting the environment. Air travel is a highly polluting industry, I would be curious to see what Air New Zealand is doing, if anything at all, in reducing emissions
@@ShirleyZhang-bt4dj I don't think anyone is holding their breath. All in time. But electric planes are already flying. There are immense constraints, but developments are fairly fast in battery energy density. EU is developing glider planes, so the recreational market is leading. Clearly short haul flights will be leading the action for electric passenger planes, and hypersonic flight for London to Sydney, or London to Auckland. That is why Air NZ has to be relevant, because if Qantas leads, Air NZ loses major business. Its larger plane fleet becomes redundant. This is why CEOs need to be on top of future technology.
Oh Jack, you are a smart guy, but you make a blatant moral error here, assuming: 1. Industry players are illegitimate for acting in self interests 2. The Commerce Commission is legitimate for purporting to act in the public interest. The Air NZ CEO knows better. Interests have to be qualified, whether selfish or custodial. He rightly alludes to the dogmatic compartmentalisation of responsibility.
Bro .... petty good at stringing some words to together, I'm thinking the same sentiments. We all know maintenance is a cost to the fleet and laying off staff is quick way of cutting costs, but the consultants are the ones sucking up the cash. What happens the projects get started, prices get jacked and you have a blowout, things you didn't invision happen, then the only way out is the consumer. Happy flying AirNZ.
Moving to Singapore Airline or Emirates, their airports facilities are so much better back in their home country. Both Air New Zealand and New Zealand Airport are short sighted in their long term planning. I treat all NZ infrastructure as second class, on its way to third class on the international stage. Please consider a typical traveller’s experience happening even before they arrive to the airport. Work together for Christ sake. It’s not helping that they are fighting against each other. This CEO is waffling and not on point to the topic.
Are we talking about motorways or airports, he's like an image of A I, high farluting future talk not about service for NZ'ERS, he needs to go, been there long enough to make a difference hasn't made ANZ any better off for travelers, time for a change at the top, he's preaching like he's giving a sermon.
Geopolitical tension and Air NZ get airtime? No word on Aotearoa not being represented at ICJ with 50 countries against genocide. Nothing on our coalition being aligned with US, UK, or EU politicians that financially support and provide weapons for genocide against their own people. There is nothing on people being starved to death as a war strategy. Nothing on colonisation, theft of lands and illegal occupation of a people that never ceded sovereignty, a topic we have advanced knowledge and experience. Our view on geopolitical tensions is about AI, air travel profits and Air NZ. Embarrassing.
@ShirleyZhang-bt4dj 🤣🤣 you follow me around RUclips with the same white old man trope. Listen ol'fella. I'm just not that into you. But thanks for making me important. Keep your bedside tissues to yourself 😆 Edit: it takes a special kinda coward to hide behind a fake name and using another culture. But...old and white are predictable. Act or First.
It doesnt matter what or who , COSTS, will always get passed on to the consumer.

Greg Foran is a very impressive operator
He does corporate speak very well.

I fly Singapore Airlines now. ANZ is like the country is represents: over priced for subpar service.
Agreed. You’re welcome to leave.

Look at the real reality, he's a liars profit for himself Be careful New Zealander of people like him they don't do it for us New Zealander.
Absolute rubbish
ACT, National and NZ First are hands off the economy government.
Sounds like we will be paying more!!
Of course it will, dont fool yourself.A no brainer.
Why is he saying cost it in terms of roading projects? Like that is in anyway comparable.
Our roading costs are off the chain too!
Greg Foran looks like Ric Flair
He opens his mouth and all you hear is his customers aren't important and his greed, greed, greed.
He seems suspicious body language change when arguing that his way is better for the people than commerce commission. How you easy you make business really means how easy is it for business to exploit people.
The government’s interest is also conflicted, why would they get involved
Hell, I thought that was their job!

A country of 5.2 million should not be talking theses billion$ numbers for an airport upgrade. But hey..the people will pay as per usual folks.
Good to see Air NZ acknowledge assistant from the labour government.
Jack and NZ Family, number One New Zealand. 🎉🎉🎉
They would want to have better design than what they have done lately
Important questions not asked: Is the airline industry's carbon footprint sustainable?
Government gave up ownership of the Auckland Airport and Auckland city is on this way.
Is he really a stock trader for an investment bank or a manager at an airline company? This interview seems more like a stock analyst passionately discussing tech stocks rather than a conversation that can connect the future of airlines with tech trends.
Solar planes was such a silly self congratulation, for such a wasteful, pointless spend. What about electrify the taxis and shuttles fully, first?

Air nz rip off
Air NZ are always dear.I never fly by them.
Not one mention of protecting the environment. Air travel is a highly polluting industry, I would be curious to see what Air New Zealand is doing, if anything at all, in reducing emissions
At what cost ?It would make flying cost in NZ unobtainable.Who is fooling who ?
they are not reducing emissions, they have invested in carbon capture through forestry to offset their, emissions..
I'm pleased to see air NZ looking at hypersonic flight given our isolation. Aka irrelevance.
Come off it at what cost ?
@@ShirleyZhang-bt4dj well, in time. When it makes sense.
@@ShirleyZhang-bt4dj Don't you welcome big picture thinking. Its not propaganda like 'BRI'.

Jack will never answer back brah
Air NZ is a private company, its less news.
Increase the tourist levy, no more taxpayer funding.
Greg Foran..your Ol' mate Luxon will no doubt help you..
But..why grieve when your airline got a bailout not long ago..
Does air new zealand have direct flights to Singapore from wellington?
Not with Wellington airport current runway length,.
