Qantas Group beats Virgin for on-time performance

Foran, who joined Air New Zealand in 2019, replaced former CEO Christopher Luxon, now the Prime Minister of New Zealand. He previously served as CEO of Walmart’s US operations and held senior positions at Woolworths in Australia.

Despite media reports of smoke in the flight deck of VH-UJK “Sheila” (pictured) as it operated flight AB570 from Avalon on Tuesday, a Bonza spokesperson has told Australian Aviation that the two pilots only reported an unusual odour and were unharmed.

VH-A5A, slated for delivery by the end of the year, was snapped in testing by a planespotter in Europe this week under the test registration F-WWTR. Jetstar currently has 13 A320neos on order up to the 2029 financial year.
