“Our airline has been an integral part of the fabric of New Zealand and we have enjoyed the immense support of New Zealanders for almost 75 years,” airline CEO Christopher Luxon said in announcing the exhibition on July 22. “The exhibition, which will be free to attend, will give the public a real insight into the history of the airline, covering both the highs and the lows we’ve experienced in that time.”
Te Papa’s Acting Chief Executive and Kaihautū, Arapata Hakiwai,said the national museum is excited to be working with Air New Zealand to bring its history to life. “Air New Zealand’s 75th anniversary is a milestone, and it presents us with a great opportunity to share some of the wonderful personal stories that have shaped its rich history.”
Brendan
says:Wonder if they will give the public insight on how they bled Ansett dry which led to Ansett’s demise.
Peter
says:Brendan. you should get all your facts right before firing of about the demise of Ansett. Air New Zealand were not solely responsible for their demise.
Chris
says:I think Ansett did a pretty good job of bleeding itself dry before ANZ arrived on the scene.
Viv
says:Brendan. I suggest you dig up the copy of AA from a few years ago which provided a comprehensive analysis of the demise of Ansett. ANZ was just one of the players in a complex affair.
MATE
says:Your right Chris I knew of Ansett staff who use to clock in a mate, the mate would do the same for his mate, and that mate and every mate was abusing the system. They destroyed there own airline mate.
