Air NZ staff get NZ$2500 bonus after airline soars to best results in 76-year history

Air NZ staff will receive a NZ$2500 bonus after the company flew to a record after tax profit of $463m. CE Christopher Luxon said it was the company's "best results ever". A $2500 bonus would be paid to 8200 of its 11,300 staff, which were those who otherwise did not have any incentives tied into their contracts. The govt, which owned 52% of the company, would also receive a $260m dividend. Luxon said the company's customer satisfaction levels were at record highs and the staff culture continued to improve. But there was also increased competition flying its way as other international airlines increase their presence in New Zealand. "I am extremely proud of the airline's achievements, our people and the contribution we make to super charging New Zealand's success," Luxon said. <br/>
