'It reverberates': Air NZ boss on Air India tragedy
More than 240 people have been killed when an Air India plane bound for London crashed moments after taking off from the city of Ahmedabad in India on Thursday (India time), authorities said. It's the world's worst aviation disaster in a decade and the first loss of life in a Boeing 787 Dreamliner. The police say the sole survivor managed to jump out an emergency exit. Air NZ chief executive Greg Foran told Morning Report he had been in touch with Air India's Kiwi chief executive Campbell Wilson and offered his company's support. He had also contacted Singapore Airlines which has a shareholding in Air India. ADVERTISEMENT The morning's headlines in 90 seconds including Air India crash, ferry still out of action, and ignoring TikTok KiwiSaver hacks. (Source: 1News) He expressed his condolences to colleagues in India dealing with the tragedy. "It reverberates, we're all impacted, it's passengers, it's all the staff who were involved. We've been working on it in the evening and offering whatever support we can." 'Not making enough lift' - watch interview with aviation expert on TVNZ+ Foran, who has just returned from several days in New Delhi, said he was up-to-date with what was happening in how the aviation industry was being developed in India. Both its major airlines, Air India and Indigo, had major expansion plans with a lot of airports being built and planes on order. "It's a burgeoning industry and it's really well run." ADVERTISEMENT The plane that crashed was a Dreamliner-8 while Air New Zealand had the slightly bigger Dreamliner-9. Air New Zealand got its first order of Dreamliners in 2014, more in 2017 and was awaiting delivery of another eight. "We've had a great run with that particular aircraft." The current ones had Trent Rolls-Royce engines while the new ones would have General Electric Gen-X engines, similar to that on the Air India plane. It was too early to speculate on whether it was an engine issue that caused the crash, Foran said. A massive "ecosystem" would be responding to what has happened in order to try and find out what has gone wrong with various regulators and companies involved. "Until people get a bit further into the investigation you don't want to speculate but I am very comfortable that the quality of what we are flying today and will fly tomorrow is at the standard required." ADVERTISEMENT However, if the regulators came back with new directives they would be incorporated into its operation. "Air New Zealand remains a very very safe airline," Foran said. Meanwhile, the New Zealand High Commission in New Delhi said it was responding to the event and was in touch with local authorities. It said it had no reason at this time to believe that any New Zealanders were on the flight.

Air New Zealand Boosts Long Haul Travel With More Premium And North America Seats This Summer
Air New Zealand is turning up the volume on long haul travel from October 2025 to March 2026, with more choice and comfort on key international routes. Customers travelling to North America will have access to more than 34,000 additional seats, alongside a boost of 20,500 premium seats across the wider long haul network. The airline is also bringing up to seven newly retrofitted 787 Dreamliners into service by the end of the year, offering a completely refreshed inflight experience from nose to tail. Overall, the airline will operate 8% more seats to the United States and Canada compared to the previous year, including a 15% increase in premium seating. With premium demand continuing to rise, Air New Zealand is delivering, with an additional 4,300 premium seats on Asia services alone. Air New Zealand Chief Commercial Officer Jeremy O'Brien says New Zealanders' desire for travel is strong, and international visitor demand continues to grow. 'We're seeing strong demand, including growing popularity of our premium cabins. Customers want a more comfortable and seamless experience, and we are responding by increasing premium availability and growing flight frequencies across our long haul network. 'As we move through the year, more of our newly retrofitted 787 aircraft will enter service, bringing a refreshed experience to destinations such as San Francisco, Honolulu, Vancouver, and Shanghai. The feedback so far has been fantastic, with customers loving the new seating — particularly the additional space and comfort in premium cabins. "With strong summer demand on the horizon, we are pleased to be offering even more options to our customers, whether they are travelling for business, leisure, or reconnecting with friends and whānau.'

Air NZ to start flights to new Western Sydney airport by mid-2027
Western Sydney International Airport. Photo: Western Sydney Airport Air New Zealand has penned an agreement to start flights to the new Western Sydney International Airport from mid-2027. It will become the first trans-Tasman airline to sign up for flights to the new airport, due to open in early 2026. The initial route will connect Auckland and Western Sydney, but is subject to aircraft availability. The airline said the new route would complement Air New Zealand's existing services to Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport. Air New Zealand chief executive Greg Foran said the airport "represents an exciting step forward" for Australia's aviation sector. "We're delighted to be the first trans-Tasman carrier to signal our intent to operate there as we continue to grow," he said. As opposed to Kingsford Smith Airport, Western Sydney International Airport would operate 24-hours a day without curfews. WSI chief executive Simon Hickey said "this new strategic partnership, supported by the Western Sydney International Take-off Fund, will connect one of Australia's most diverse and fastest growing regions - Western Sydney - with New Zealand's largest city and main holiday gateway." The Take-Off Fund is a New South Wales state government initiative which offers incentives such as cost-offsetting, marketing and operational support to encourage airlines to create new routes to the airport. The state's Minister for Jobs and Tourism Steve Kamper, said the airport was "getting ready for take-off". "This is the first new route secured through the Western Sydney International Take-Off Fund, and a route that I am sure will no doubt be very popular," Kamper said. Air New Zealand recently launched a Christchurch-Adelaide route as part of its Tasman growth strategy.
