Show Notes

Air New Zealand's chief executive says it's a matter of when, not if, they return to London.  

The airline faces another two to three years of disruption waiting for new aircraft and the completion of maintenance on existing ones. 

The disruptions already cost the airline up to $150 million a year. 

Greg Foran told Heather du Plessis-Allan they've been given spots at Gatwick Airport.  

He says it got them excited initially, but they haven't got any planes.  

Greg Foran says he expects to get those planes at the start of 2026.
