Oh, look, I mean, we're in the business of flying planes, and we've had 20% of our assets stranded, parked up.

Having them back is extremely useful.

Nikhil Ravishankar: Air NZ CEO on their projected full-year pre-tax loss rising to $390 million

Yeah, but can you fill them?

Well, I mean, that's the challenge, of course, isn't it?
