Luxon - bring on the competition
Air NX CE Christopher Luxon says the flood of rival airlines coming in to the country was good news for his business. While he expected the state of the market to be "choppy" over the next 12 to 18 months, Air NZ with 40% of inbound international business was benefiting from the surge in tourists, in spite of increased competition. And once the visitors are here, Air NZ's growing domestic operation was the main airline beneficiary. "Whenever a competitor airline brings visitors into New Zealand that's a good thing for Air NZ because we then pick up those passengers and disperse them throughout country," he said. "We've got the economics right in that we can fly to places in New Zealand that other airlines can't fly to." Seven new airlines have started flying to Auckland in the past year. <br/>
