Air New Zealand, kahi lālā o ka Star Alliance e hōʻemi hou nei i ka hiki ma o kāna pūnaewele ma muli o ka hopena o Covid-19 i ka noi huakaʻi.
Ma kāna pūnaewele huki lōʻihi e hoʻēmi ana ʻo Air New Zealand i kona hiki i 85 pākēneka i nā mahina e hiki mai ana a e hana i kahi papa manawa liʻiliʻi e ʻae iā Kiwis e hoʻi i ka home a e wehe i nā alaloa kalepa me ʻAsia a me ʻAmelika ʻĀkau. E ʻōlelo ʻia nā kikoʻī piha o kēia papa hana i nā lā e hiki mai ana.
Ma waena o nā hoʻoliʻiliʻi hiki i ka pūnaewele lōʻihi, hiki i ka mokulele ke ʻōlelo ʻo ia ke kāpae nei i nā mokulele ma waena o Auckland a me Chicago, San Francisco, Houston, Buenos Aires, Vancouver, Tokyo Narita, Honolulu, Denpasar a me Taipei mai 30 Malaki a 30 Iune.

Ma ka pūnaewele kūloko, e hoʻēmi ʻia ka hiki ma kahi o 30 pākēneka i ʻApelila a me Mei akā ʻaʻole kau ʻia nā ala.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻia nā mea kūʻai aku ma muli o ka pae o ka hoʻololi o ka manawa i ʻike ʻole ʻia ma mua ʻaʻole pono lākou e hoʻopili i ka mokulele inā ʻaʻole lākou e lele i loko o nā hola he 48 e hiki mai ana a i ʻole pono e hoʻi koke i New Zealand a i ko lākou ʻāina home.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Luna Hoʻokele ʻO Greg Foran ʻoiai ke kū nei nā mokulele i kahi pilikia nui ʻole ma mua, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ke kau ʻia ʻana o Air New Zealand ma mua o ka hapanui e hoʻokele iā ia.
"Kupaianaha ke kūpaʻa o ko mākou poʻe a ke kahaha mau nei wau i ko lākou hoʻolaʻa a me ke kuko no kā mākou mea kūʻai aku," wahi a Mr Foran.
"He mokulele nimble mākou me kahi kumu kūʻai wīwī, pale pale ikaika, mālama mālama kālā maikaʻi, kahi māka maikaʻi loa a me kahi kime e hele i luna a ma ʻō hoʻi o kēlā me kēia lā. He hoa kākoʻo kā mākou. Kūkākūkā pū mākou me ke Aupuni i kēia manawa. "
Ma ke ʻano he hopena o ka hāʻule ʻana o ka huakaʻi hele ʻo Air New Zealand e hoʻomau i ka loiloi i kāna kumu kūʻai a pono e hoʻomaka i ke kaʻina hana o nā redundancies no nā kūlana kūpaʻa e hoʻomaopopo nei i ka hana nui a ka uniona i kēia hana.
"Ke ʻae nei mākou i kēia manawa no nā mahina e hiki mai ana ma ka liʻiliʻi loa ʻo Air New Zealand kahi mokulele liʻiliʻi e koi ana i nā kumuwaiwai liʻiliʻi, e like me ka poʻe. Ua hoʻonohonoho mākou i kahi o nā ana, e like me ka waiho me ka uku ʻole a noi aku i ka poʻe me ka nui o ka waiho ʻana e lawe, akā hele wale kēia. Ke hana nei mākou i nā manawa hana hou no kekahi o kā mākou limahana ma loko o ka mokulele a me ke kākoʻo pū kekahi i nā hui ʻē aʻe.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Mr Foran ke hana maikaʻi nei ka mokulele me nā poʻo o nā ʻuniona nui ʻehā e hōʻike ana ma mua o 8,000 o kāna limahana e hōʻoia i ka hopena kūpono no nā limahana āpau.
"Mahalo wau i nā hui alakaʻi ma E tū, AMEA, NZALPA a me Federation of Air New Zealand Pilots no ke ala a lākou e hui pū ai me ka mokulele a me ka hōʻike maikaʻi ʻana i ka makemake o kā lākou lālā. He mau manawa like ʻole kēia a pau a mākou e hoʻokele ai. A maopopo leʻa inā ʻaʻole mākou e lawe i nā ana kūpono e hoʻohaʻahaʻa ai i nā kumukūʻai a me ka hoʻokele waiwai, ʻaʻole hiki i kā mākou ʻoihana mokulele i ke kūlana maikaʻi loa e holo wikiwiki i mua o ka hopena maikaʻi loa o Covid-19. ”
Ma ke ʻano he ʻāpana o ka mālama kālā hoʻāhu kālā a Air New Zealand, e lawe ka Papa Hoʻohui i kahi 15 keneta uku uku a hiki i ka hopena o kēia makahiki kalena.
He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:
- And it is clear that if we don't take all the appropriate measures to lower costs and to drive revenue, our airline won't be in the best position to accelerate forward once we are through the worst of the impact of Covid-19.
- Ma ke ʻano he hopena o ka hāʻule ʻana o ka huakaʻi hele ʻo Air New Zealand e hoʻomau i ka loiloi i kāna kumu kūʻai a pono e hoʻomaka i ke kaʻina hana o nā redundancies no nā kūlana kūpaʻa e hoʻomaopopo nei i ka hana nui a ka uniona i kēia hana.
- “I would like to thank the leadership teams at E tū, AMEA, NZALPA and Federation of Air New Zealand Pilots for the way in which they are engaging with the airline and positively representing the interests of their members.
