Its not surprising news that NZ are looking at a 15% investment in DJ, as I have said in other posts, DJ is becoming very quickly another Ansett in many ways, at least running 20 year old 767s wont be an issue for them like it was for Ansett.
I would not be surprised to see an announcement soon for a bunch of new 767's to cover their needs domestically for the next 5-10 years, it will be interesting to see how QF react.
Air NZ mulls 15% share of Virgin Blue
"AIR NEW ZEALAND is believed to be considering taking a cornerstone stake in Virgin Blue to cement its relationship with Australia's second-largest airline.
Aviation industry sources said last night that the government-backed Air New Zealand wanted to buy up to 15 per cent of Virgin Blue, after the airlines appeared to have won indicative support from regulators for their proposed joint venture on services between Australia and New Zealand."
