Airport “greedy”, says Air NZ boss
Air New Zealand chief executive Rob Fyfe has accused Wellington International Airport of “greedy ambition” and “narrow self-interest”.
Mr Fyfe says the airport and other Wellington groups have not accepted the “severity of the situation” facing Air New Zealand and Qantas. The national carrier believes a proposed code-sharing agreement is essential for frequent flights between the capital and Australia.
Wellington International Airport has said the code-share would disadvantage travellers and kill the prospects of expansion by competitors on the trans-Tasman route. A report found code-sharing could cost the city $34 million a year in lost spending by international visitors.
But Mr Fyfe said the “narrow self-interest displayed by Wellington airport and other Wellington stakeholders” could limit travel options to Australia.
Air New Zealand accepted the airport would court its competitors, which might offer long-haul services of their own. But Mr Fyfe has accused the airport’s operators of “greedy ambition”.
