Case Study: Re-timing of our Hong Kong flight

•Previously operated AKL-HKG as an overnight

flight

•This left one widebody aircraft on the ground for

~11 hours before the next scheduled departure

•By re-timing this flight, ground time reduces to

~2 hours which enables us to:

−Free up one widebody aircraft for

additional flying or for use as an

operational spare

−Achieve greater crew efficiencies

−Serve local traffic with no material impact

on connectivity or target traffic flows

We are in the early stages of applying machine

learning to further optimise revenue management

Several weaknesses with traditional

revenue management systems

• Reliance on historical booking

data to predict future demand

When used with existing systems,

machine learning can improve our results

Improve the demand forecast by

considering significant metadata

• Inventory re-optimisation does not

occur in real-time

• Seat inventory is optimised

independently of ancillary

products

Inventory settings re-optimised in near

real-time; enables rapid response to

Ability to manage the complete customer

Looking to the near term we expect cash levels will remain at

the upper end of our liquidity range

• As communicated last year, we have updated our

liquidity range to target $700 million to $1 billion

cash

−Now transitioning to this target range

−Primary mechanism by which we are moving

towards this target has been via aircraft

purchases

−Balancing the level of cash purchases of fleet

with the current attractive financing rates

−No impact to gearing or net debt levels

−Our fleet financing model provides us with

greater flexibility from a liquidity perspective
