Today’s ride from AKL to KUL on a @MAS A330-900. Great plane, great airline!

[Adrian Schofield @AvWeekScho]

Pretty windy at @AKL_Airport today, but Jean says no issues for flying!

[Adrian Schofield @AvWeekScho]

@TerribleMaps Oh yeah? Well how many countries have laser-equipped kiwis on their flag?

[Adrian Schofield @AvWeekScho]

@analyticflying yes, big difference between flights and capacity!

[Adrian Schofield @AvWeekScho]

@analyticflying And again, I think they could have been clearer on capacity. Nowhere did they mention it was ASKs - maybe most would infer that, but would have been good to be clear

[Adrian Schofield @AvWeekScho]

@analyticflying @1kunalbahl that would certainly make the Waratahs a lot better

[Adrian Schofield @AvWeekScho]

@analyticflying @1kunalbahl Just watch, the Aussies will claim they invented it. Like pavlova.

This is the new(ish) Air NZ Lookout Lounge at Auckland Airport - it’s essentially a temporary overflow lounge used during the morning and late afternoon/evening peaks. This one and the main lounge will close when the new bigger lounge is completed

[Adrian Schofield @AvWeekScho]

Kind of a murky day at Auckland Airport, but Jean says it’s good for flying. Traveling to Sydney with my father to see my aunt

[Adrian Schofield @AvWeekScho]

@analyticflying @LalluPilot They should do an XLR with extended battery life!

@analyticflying @Nirgal451 And also, if Qatar/UAE airspace is still closed when Sunrise starts in mid-2027, we've got bigger problems on our hands! 😂

[Adrian Schofield @AvWeekScho]

@tmurphyNZ Only about 2 years of his 20+ year career were spent as Luxon's press sec. Also worth noting that he held important beats at multiple major titles in NZ. In my experience he was a careful, fair and thoroughly professional journo. This is a good choice.

[Adrian Schofield @AvWeekScho]

@LachlanB_ @analyticflying @BLACKCAPS Well, so far anyway.... I suspect we're all playing for second place in this one

[Adrian Schofield @AvWeekScho]

@analyticflying Maybe we can swap you for Pat Cummins

[Adrian Schofield @AvWeekScho]

@FSFAeroSafety Thanks Frank!
