We know airfares are expensive, right? Everybody, and I mean everybody, I know who's booked flights recently has made the comment that an overseas flight is cheaper than flying just about anywhere around New Zealand – especially to the provincial centres. Easter was huge in terms of airfares, but even on your normal everyday Wednesday morning, flying to Timaru, flying to Tauranga, it's going to set you back a fortune. We've been complaining about Air New Zealand's pricing now ever since we could get back in the air again after Covid, but what can we do? Air New Zealand says its experienced more cost inflation in the past three years than was typically seen in a decade, with Covid, a weak New Zealand dollar, and geopolitics all to blame. Richard Thompson, Air New Zealand's Chief Financial Officer says their costs over the past 3.5 years have gone up by roughly 30%. Domestic airfares on average have gone up by around 24%, so they're trying to absorb the costs, they say. He argues that flying is still a relatively affordable way to get around the country, with every $400 or $500 fare, he says, there are thousands of examples of $129 fares or even $99 fares. He said I was speaking with someone before Christmas who wanted to get from Timaru to Napier. They were paying $600 or $700 one way. But what's the alternative? You drive to Picton. It'll cost you $100 in gas. If you take the ferry across, that's another $250 or $300. Then another $50 or $60 in gas to get to Napier. He said driving isn't cheap either. But now the government's getting in on the act. Associate Transport Minister James Meager is not ruling out underwriting the expansion of small regional airlines to help maintain routes and keep the price of flying competitive. But truly, the thing is we simply do not have the population base to support viable competition. How many airlines have tried and failed to establish themselves in the market? Just thinking back, in the last couple of decades, Freedom Air, Kiwi Air, and Ansett - they came, they tried, they failed. Don't get me wrong, competition is a good thing. We do have Jetstar, bless them and where they fly, you'll generally find the routes are the most competitive in terms of airfares, and the most reliable – because let's not forget about reliability. And I don't think that's a coincidence. I'm supposed to be flying to Tauranga in a couple of weeks for the day, for a job. And I'm supposed to be flying down on Saturday morning and flying back on Saturday evening. I have absolutely no confidence that that will happen. None. I mean, I hope it does, because there's a film crew down there and it will be a costly exercise if I fail to make it. I'm not planning anything for that particular Saturday night because the last time I flew to Tauranga, I got down there fine and then sat for just under 7 hours in the regional lounge waiting for a plane that never came, or it didn't come for a very, very long time. And yes, you can drive, but it's a horrible drive. But what do you do? It's a horrible drive or you accept that there's a very real chance that the plane won't take off when it says it's going to. Why, though, is the government interfering in the market? I found it really interesting that successive governments, Labour and National have wanted to tinker with privately owned businesses like supermarkets, and petrol companies, and banks, and now the airlines. They want to sort of tweak and fiddle around to try and bring prices down and make things more competitive, and it's all about the consumer and you know. Fabulous. Why don't they bring down the price of power? That's something they do control. The governments are in charge of that. Not everybody flies, we all use electricity. It is what it is. It's expensive to run an airline. Really expensive now in the wake of Covid and it's all been outlined as to why it's so expensive. Flying is expensive. We know that. We baulk at paying the prices if we can. They will allow some subsidies if you're going for a funeral, if there's humanitarian reasons for getting somewhere quickly. Air New Zealand can allow for cheaper airfares, but ultimately, do we want the government, that is the taxpayer, subsidising competition in the aviation industry? I wouldn't have thought that was a good use of taxpayer money. Why on Earth should other taxpayers who don't fly, subsidise those who want to flit off to Hawkes Bay or Queenstown for a jolly. I just don't see why the government should be interfering with the business of flying planes. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Here we go again with the whinge fest about Air New Zealand's prices. I get it. I try book the same flights as everybody else and when you're trying to fly some obscure route from this province to province its gets expensive. Quickly. But here we are again with politicians telling us fibs - telling us they can wave a magic wand and fix all of our problems. This time is James Meager - going in to bat for the South Island. He says flying shouldn't just be for the rich, the government is going to take action and is talking about underwriting airlines. Do we want the government underwriting the purchase of turbo prop planes? Really? We've heard this all before of course. They've gone after the banks, the supermarkets, and the price of petrol. I can't tell you how many painstaking and frustrating interviews I've done with ministers of all colours and stripes who swear black and blue they'll sort it out and then don't. What's worse? The person that punches you in the nose? Or the doctor that says they'll fix it when they know you can't? Here's the thing, if you wanna book the main trunk line, it's relatively inexpensive, providing you're not booking last minute. There's Jetstar keeping Air New Zealand honest. That's competition. But if you're flying Kerikeri to Dunedin tomorrow, guess what? It will cost plenty. Why? Because they've got you over a barrel. You need to fly. It's short notice. 8000 people live in Kerikeri and 130,000 in Dunedin, these routes are often empty. The fact is running a profitable airline in a sparsely populated country is bloody difficult. And we want them to be profitable, otherwise we have no airline and we're a backwater banana republic. And the regional players - they're no better off. Air Chathams the other week was threatening to pull out of Whakatane unless the council paid for a new Cessna. Everyone compares us to the Australians - but have a look at outback Queensland. You pay thousands just to get to Brisbane. Show me a headline about flights being cheaper from Dunedin to Bali than Dunedin to Auckland and I'll show you one about Mount Isa to Brisbane and Brisbane to Canada. Population matters and guess what? We're a blip on the radar. And as for the promise that some politician will swoop in and save the day - it's about as reliable as planes.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Australian airlines anticipate an exceptionally busy Easter travel period, with Qantas and Jetstar alone expecting to handle nearly two million passengers across their networks between Easter and Anzac Day. This surge in travel represents a significant increase, leading both airlines to implement measures such as rostering extra staff and having standby aircraft available. Travellers are being advised to arrive at airports significantly earlier than usual and to utilise online check-in and adhere to baggage restrictions to mitigate potential delays. Air New Zealand also projects a substantial rise in Australian passengers, particularly on trans-Tasman routes, urging travellers to plan ahead for a smoother experience. Overall, the reports highlight a widespread expectation of record-breaking travel volumes during the upcoming Easter holidays.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I started counting headlines about Air New Zealand two weeks ago after my flight from Nelson to Auckland was delayed by about an hour. Then last Saturday my partners flight from Napier to Auckland was delayed after a bird strike. Neither delay was hugely consequential – just a little irritating. But since then, there have been a number of press articles about issues with planes. On the 30th of November, an Air NZ plane sat on the tarmac in Hong Kong for hours before being canned after a fuel fault and then crew sickness. An Air NZ flight from Wellington to Sydney was diverted to Auckland on the 1st of December after engine problems. And a flight from Gisborne to Auckland on the 2nd of December returned to Gisborne after engine problems. The plane landed safely after shutting down an engine shortly after departure. Investigations are underway for both engine issues. Anecdotally you don't have to search too hard to find someone who'll share a story of a flight delayed or cancelled, often at the last minute. It got me wondering if we're experiencing more incidents, delays and cancellations than before; or are we just complaining more? Do we feel we can complain more because quite often we're paying good money to fly around our little country? Recent figures released by the Ministry of Transport, which compare Jetstar and Air NZ's services on the main trunk jet routes they compete on, show that in September Air New Zealand recorded 80.4% for on-time departures (within 15 minutes of schedule), and Jetstar 78.0%. For on-time arrivals, Air New Zealand recorded 82.1% and Jetstar 80.6%. In January, Air New Zealand was sitting at 88% and it dropped to 77% in March this year. So reliability has fluctuated throughout the year. Another interesting figure - Air New Zealand's cancellation rate was 1.4%, more than twice Jetstar's which was 0.6%. So yeah, the stats could be better. We all accept airlines can't control the weather, but Air New Zealand has had other issues to grapple with. Planes out of action due to high global demand for engine maintenance meant 10 jets were out of service in the first half of this financial year. It is not expected this will be sorted until 2026. On top of this, the travel market has been a mixed bag, leading the airline to announce this week they will be running fewer flights on some domestic routes in 2025. Who knows what this will do to prices? A 1.4% cancellation rate is tiny in the overall scheme of things – but when combined with other disruptions and high prices, Air New Zealand has its challenges cut out for them. For so long they have been a beloved New Zealand brand, but since Covid it's been like pushing a Dreamliner uphill. Have you run out of patience yet? The Air New Zealand service and staff may be fabulous, but as long as long as the fleet and financials remain under pressure it looks like it will be difficulty to quiet the headlines.

Koala Airlines has a website, a management team and a vision to redefine air travel in Australia. Its boss is tight-lipped about where it will fly and when. But if it gets into the air, can it really succeed in taking on the big players Qantas and Virgin when so many others have failed, most recently Rex.  Today, Emily Baker on her Four Corners investigation into why Rex couldn't compete. Emily Baker explains that Koala Airlines aims to provide a different product or service, similar to how Aldi and IGA operate alongside Coles and Woolworths. She highlights that the Australian domestic market is dominated by a duopoly of Qantas and Virgin, making it challenging for new entrants. Emily discusses how Rex's attempt to enter the jet market and compete on the Golden Triangle routes ultimately led to its downfall. She also notes that Qantas and Virgin's aggressive competitive strategies played a significant role in Rex's failure. Emily says there's evidence that a third airline would push down airfares, and one way to achieve that would be to force Qantas to sell off Jetstar. Featured: Emily Baker, Four Corners reporterKey Topics:Koala AirlinesAustralian aviation marketQantas and Virgin duopolyRex Airlines failureGolden Triangle routesAirline competitionAirfare pricesBill AstlingLim Kim HaiJohn Sharp

Between Qantas and Jetstar, Qantas Group is undoubtedly the biggest name in Australia's skies, with Virgin Australia a fairly distant second – which has led some, including opposition transport spokesperson Bridget McKenzie, to call for its break-up.

It is a bird? Is it a plane? Well, yes, it is a plane, but it's also something much more.We all know that airlines fly passengers and freight around the country and the world. But they're also like banks, and data collecting businesses. And that's because of the growing importance of their frequent flyer programs. Though you no longer need to fly to gain points. As customers we're not sure what these points are worth. But to the airlines, loyalty programs are so lucrative that they are a core part of their business.Guests:Katharine Kemp, Associate Professor at UNSW Law and JusticeDaniel Sciberras, Editor in Chief at Point HacksGanesh Sitaraman, Professor of Law at Vanderbilt University and author of Why flying is miserable and how to fix it, published by Columbia Global Reports Leona Tam, Professor at UTS Business School.This program is repeated from March, 2024

From Madstarr last week to JET STAR this week, we are truly talking to some artists that are out of this world. This interview has us in a bit of a tizzy, JET STAR inspires us with her story of rising from her literal death bed and performing her first gig the day after her predicted death date. She has a beautiful outlook on life - that everyone is worthy of having a good time - and weaves that energy into each song she releases and every word she says.We also get our first mom in the studio who has some wonderful things to say, healing every inner child across the board. Hearing about JET STAR's background and upbringing provides us with so much more insight as to how this beautiful soul came to be (guess which artist's song made her cry at 5 years old). We also talk about a trip to AND in California, the infamous story of the exploding tour van, and sing the praises of the Underdog, Garage Band.Thank you, JET STAR, for opening up and sharing your impactful messages with us!

For many years there has been a myth among journalists that journalism and content marketing can't coexist.   You either have to focus on journalism work or on content marketing, but not on both.   But this belief is based on false assumptions and outdated beliefs. And in this week's episode, you'll hear why you can do both very successfully as a freelance writer.   And, in fact, why you may actually WANT to focus on both.   My guest is Lindy Alexander, an award-winning freelance food, travel, and lifestyle writer and content creator living in the vibrant goldfields town of Castlemaine in central Victoria, Australia.   Her work has been published in numerous digital and print publications including Sunday Life, The Age/The Sydney Morning Herald, The Guardian, Travel + Indulgence, Travel + Leisure Southeast Asia, delicious, Good Food, The Saturday Paper, SBS Life, Dumbo Feather, Peppermint, Essential Kids, Essential Baby, Modern Farmer, Jetstar magazine and Homes+.   I had Lindy on the show a few years ago, where we discussed . This time, we're directly tackling the age-old myth that content marketing and journalism are incompatible.   You'll hear exactly how Lindy has navigated these waters like a champ. How's she maintained solid journalistic standards and ethics throughout. And how you can combine both to create real synergies in your business.
