Company Report

Air New Zealand Earnings: Maintenance Woes to Crimp Capacity Growth

Profitability at Air New Zealand has moderated significantly. Fiscal 2024 underlying profit before tax of NZD 222 million was within guidance and about 2% below our forecast, but down 61% from near-record profits in fiscal 2023. Conditions have normalized. Pent-up demand has exhausted, previously constrained industry capacity has eased, and price competition has returned. The second half deteriorated further from first-half pretax profit of NZD 185 million amid cost inflation, engine maintenance issues, a soft economic backdrop in New Zealand, and increased competition on North American routes.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Air New Zealand is the largest airline in the domestic market, and new entrants would likely struggle to build the scale and route frequency to attract corporate customers.

Bears

Air New Zealand is exposed to cyclical factors outside management’s control, including passenger demand, fuel prices, and exchange rates.
