Air NZ says it’s getting more punctual, working to win public’s respect

Cameron Diaz2026-07-15T17:13:00.000Z

Yeah right. Air NZ has been saying this for years. I'll believe it when my flight doesn't get cancelled last minute.

Leo McKenzie2026-07-15T17:50:00.000Z

right. My cousin works there and says it's chaos in the hangars.

Morning coffee and Air NZ punctuality in the same article? I need a stronger brew to believe this one ☕

As someone who works in aviation, I can tell you maintenance delays are a nightmare. They're trying, but respect takes years to earn back.

Zoe King2026-07-15T19:26:00.000Z

Most respected airline? Good one. Try most delayed airline. My last three flights were late by hours.

Reese Morgan2026-07-15T19:40:00.000Z

lol the CEO probably had a nice breakfast this morning while we're all stuck waiting at gate 12. get stuffed.

Hayden Kelly2026-07-15T20:20:00.000Z

Preach. The PR team works overtime while engineers are run ragged.

Eva Anderson2026-07-15T19:52:00.000Z

Honestly I've had okay experiences lately. Maybe they're actually improving? But I'm a student so what do I know lol

Zoe King2026-07-15T20:45:00.000Z

be nice to have hope. I've given up after three cancellations in a row.

Sophie Ngata2026-07-15T20:13:00.000Z

I hope they turn it around. We need a national carrier we can be proud of. Go Air NZ! ✈️

Sophie Ngata2026-07-15T20:49:00.000Z

though, last week my flight left 10 mins early. Might be a new record 😂

Ruby Fraser2026-07-15T20:19:00.000Z

Working on the inside, I see the pressure. But passengers don't care about our problems, they just want to get home. Fair enough tbh.

Ruby Fraser2026-07-15T20:31:00.000Z

Exactly. Management needs to stop patting themselves on the back and sort the actual operations.

Riley Scott2026-07-15T20:28:00.000Z

Respect is earned, not bought with press releases. Prove it by not losing my luggage for a change.

Cameron Diaz2026-07-15T20:36:00.000Z

ffs this again. Just fix the ruddy planes instead of talking to journalists.

Eva Anderson2026-07-15T20:44:00.000Z

I'd rather fly Jetstar tbh at least I expect nothing lol
