Oh yeah, 'horrific' year for the airline. Meanwhile my weekly grocery bill went up 20 quid and no one's crying for me. 🙄

Mate, it's tough all round. Our local dairy owner said he's paying double for delivery fuel. Hope they can hold on till prices drop.

nah you're spot on. Always the cogs that get replaced before the machine breaks down.

Jet fuel prices 'fell just over'... fell just over what? A typo? RNZ quality journalism at its finest.

Time to invest in a bike and good raincoat. Honestly, more people cycling would fix half the problems in this country.

bet they'll cut the regional routes and keep the profitable ones. typical.
