An aviation commentator says Air New Zealand needs to look at ways to cut costs as the war in the Middle East impacts fuel prices. The airline's adjusted fares - lifting domestic flights $10 and long-haul flights $90. It's suspended its guidance from less than a fortnight ago, expecting second-half earnings similar to the $59 million first-half loss. Irene King says the airline could slash its spending. "They really have never addressed the cost side of their business post-Covid - and they really could get stuck in there, their labour costs are astronomical."
