June 2026 Highlights and commentary





1. % change is based on numbers prior to rounding.

2. The percentage movements have been adjusted on a daily weighted average basis. The adjustment takes into account the

difference in days for the accounting month of July 2024 (28 days) in FY25 YTD compared with July 2025 (27 days) in FY26 YTD

and June 2025 (36 days) compared with June 2026 (37 days). This is because Air New Zealand operates on a 4,4,5 accounting

calendar but closes the annual accounts on 30 June.

3. Reported RASK (unit passenger revenue per available seat kilometre) is inclusive of foreign currency impact, and Underlying RASK

excludes foreign currency impact.


• Group capacity increased 1.3% in June compared with the prior year. Long-haul ASKs

decreased (0.5%), while domestic capacity decreased (3.6%), driven by targeted capacity

reductions following the sharp rise in jet fuel prices after the conflict in the Middle East. Short-

haul international capacity increased 3.6%, driven by the introduction of two new A321 aircraft.

• Group YTD Underlying RASK (excluding FX) improved 2.2% year-on-year.

• Short-haul YTD RASK, which includes Domestic, Tasman and Pacific Islands, was (1.7%) lower

than the prior year. Domestic RASK decreased (0.2%) year-on-year, while Tasman and Pacific

Islands RASK decreased (0.6%).

• Long-haul YTD RASK increased 5.7% year-on-year, primarily reflecting reduced capacity across

the long-haul network due to ongoing Boeing 787 aircraft-on-ground constraints, while demand

remained comparatively resilient.

Media releases

(1 June 2026 to 21 July 2026)

Air New Zealand marks Dreamliner milestone as final aircraft returns from storage

3 July

Air New Zealand has welcomed back its final Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner from long-term

storage, marking a major milestone in the airline's response to one of the most significant

global supply chain challenges facing aviation in recent years.

For the first time since the global Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 engine shortage impacted aircraft

availability, Air New Zealand now has no widebody aircraft in storage. At the peak of the

engine shortage, the airline had five of its fourteen Boeing 787-9 aircraft grounded.

Air New Zealand GM Fleet Baden Smith says the milestone is one step closer to having the

full Dreamliner fleet operational.

"With the completion of our retrofit programme and the delivery of our two new Boeing 787-

9 aircraft by the end of this year, we'll see targeted growth in widebody capacity over the next

two years.

"This additional capacity opens up opportunities across our network, including our recently

announced services between Christchurch and Singapore, Tokyo and Perth.

"As the country's national airline our focus isn't just growth; it's building a resilient, future-fit

airline that keeps New Zealand connected to the world. Every aircraft we return to the fleet

strengthens our ability to connect people, support trade and grow tourism."

For Air New Zealand Fleet Project Lead Robert Cox, the milestone reflects the success of a

complex and coordinated programme of work.

"The challenge wasn't just finding somewhere to store the aircraft. We needed to keep them

maintained, protect the condition of the fleet and keep the engine overhaul programme

moving so we could get these aircraft back into service for our customers as soon as possible.

"Long-term aircraft parking is limited in Auckland and New Zealand's climate isn't ideal for

extended aircraft storage, so Alice Springs became the preferred location for the grounded

Dreamliners."

Air New Zealand worked with partners to carry out Trent 1000 engine changes in Alice

Springs, allowing engines to be removed and sent for overhaul while the aircraft remained

safely in storage.

Investor Relations email: investor@airnz.co.nz

Investor website: www.airnewzealand.co.nz/investor



"Carrying out engine changes in Alice Springs was a significant logistical challenge, but it

helped us get engines into the shop at least six months earlier than if they had remained on

the aircraft," says Cox.

Air New Zealand's narrowbody fleet is also nearly back in full service, with just two Airbus

A320neo aircraft currently grounded due to challenges with the Pratt & Whitney engines,

down from six at the peak of the disruption.

All fourteen 787-9 Dreamliners will have been retrofitted with the airline's new cabin

experience by the end of 2026.

The airline's two new Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners are scheduled to be delivered from Boeing

by the end of this year.


Air New Zealand shares first look at new cabin designs for Boeing 777 aircraft

15 July

Air New Zealand has unveiled details of its new cabin upgrades being undertaken across its

Boeing 777-300ER fleet, underscoring its commitment to deliver a refined, modern, world-

class onboard experience for customers travelling to and from Aotearoa New Zealand.

The upgrade programme will see the airline's Boeing 777-300ER aircraft fitted with new

Business Premier and Economy interiors, and give customers a fresh, more consistent

experience across Air New Zealand's international fleet.

Air New Zealand Chief Customer & Digital Officer Jeremy O'Brien says the investment aims

to ensure the airline delivers a product that meets customer needs now and into the future.

Ongoing maintenance and production costs have also been factored into the upgrades.

"Our current Business Premier and Economy cabins have served us exceptionally well since

we welcomed the first 777-300ER into our fleet in late 2010, however the time is right to raise

the bar once again. Alongside our retrofitted 787-9 Dreamliners, these upgrades will deliver

a more consistent experience across Air New Zealand's international fleet, with a design and

production standard that matches the world-class Kiwi service we're proud to provide

onboard.

"Our Boeing 777-300ER aircraft continue to play a key role in our international network, and

upgrading the interiors means we can keep these aircraft flying for longer, while reducing the

maintenance demands that come with an older cabin product."

New onboard experience for 777 fleet

Business Premier

The refreshed Business Premier cabin will feature new Collins Elevation seats, offering

customers more personal space, comfort and privacy, in a forward-facing layout.

Investor website: www.airnewzealand.co.nz/investor



"The updated Business Premier cabin will deliver a modern experience for our customers

and brings similar functionality to the new seats being rolled out across our 787-9 fleet. It will

also see the layout change to a 'reverse herringbone' format," says O'Brien.

Key features include:

• 44 seats (unchanged from current layout)

• 43" pitch seats that convert to a lie-flat bed

• All seats will have doors for enhanced privacy

• Centre seats have sliding privacy dividers

• 18" inflight entertainment screens with Bluetooth audio connectivity

• USB A and USB C connection

Economy

Customers travelling in Economy will enjoy new ergonomically designed seats from ZIM,

along with upgraded inflight entertainment screens.

Key features include:

• 246 seats (two additional seats compared to the current layout)

• Economy Stretch seats with 35" pitch

• Standard Economy seats with 31"-32" pitch

• 13" inflight entertainment screens with Bluetooth audio connectivity

• USB C connection

Premium Economy remains as it is currently, with the cabins having gone through a refresh

programme over the past year, with new seat covers and cabin curtains.

The first 777 is scheduled to be retrofitted in March 2027, and in service by May 2027.


Air New Zealand delivers strong year-on-year improvement in June operational

performance

16 July

In June, Air New Zealand operated 12,279 flights across its domestic and international

network with 86 percent of flights arriving within 15 minutes of schedule.

While June's on-time performance was down slightly from May's record 89.1 percent, the

result represents a significant improvement on the same month last year, when 78.3 percent

of flights arrived on time.

Chief Operations Officer, Ground and In-Flight, Kate Boyer says June demonstrated the

progress Air New Zealand is making towards building a more resilient operation that puts

customers first.







Stock exchange listings: New Zealand (NZX: AIR) / Australia (ASX: AIZ) / ADR (OTC: ANZLY)



Air New Zealand postal address: Private Bag 92007, Auckland, 1142, New Zealand

Investor Relations email: investor@airnz.co.nz

Investor website: www.airnewzealand.co.nz/investor



"June was another solid month for our operations. While our on-time performance eased

slightly compared with May, it came during a month where we managed several significant

operational challenges, including the fire at Wellington Airport, periods of severe winter

weather, and other disruptions outside our control.

"Despite those challenges, our overall on-time performance improved by almost eight

percentage points compared with June last year with every part of our network contributing

to that improvement.

"We know reliability is one of the things our customers value most. Every improvement we

make means more people arriving on time, making connections, getting home to their

families, or starting their holidays and business trips as planned."

One of the biggest contributors to the gain was a significant reduction in reactionary delays,

where a delay to one flight impacts the rest of the day's schedule. Compared with June last

year, reactionary delays were reduced by more than 50 percent, allowing quicker recovery

from disruption and reducing knock-on delays across the network.

"Building a more resilient airline starts with getting the basics right. Over the past year we've

made changes to our regional schedule to improve reliability and rolled out a targeted

programme of initiatives designed to improve our day-of execution discipline. We're seeing

the benefits of that work through stronger on-time performance and a greater ability to recover

when disruption does occur.

"We're now taking those learnings and applying them across our jet network through

schedule adjustments and operational improvements, so we can continue delivering a more

reliable experience for our customers," Kate adds.

Air New Zealand also continued to improve performance in cancellations with only 0.7

percent within the airline's control, down from 1.7 percent in June last year. While total

cancellations increased to 3.3 percent of scheduled flights during June, these were primarily

caused by factors outside the airline's control including severe weather and disruption caused

by the fire at Wellington Airport.

"That shows the areas we can directly influence continue to improve, even when operating

conditions become more challenging. Reliable operations are fundamental to delivering for

our customers and to our ambition of being the world's most respected airline. While there's

always more to do, particularly as we move through winter, these results demonstrate the

progress we're making through continued investment in our people, planning and technology

at Air New Zealand," Kate finishes.


Air New Zealand to be the first international airline at new Western Sydney Airport

17 July

Tomorrow (Saturday 18 July) marks 100 days until Air New Zealand becomes the first

international airline to touch down at the new Western Sydney International Airport (WSI),







Stock exchange listings: New Zealand (NZX: AIR) / Australia (ASX: AIZ) / ADR (OTC: ANZLY)

giving Western Sydney residents direct access to New Zealand and beyond through the

airline's extensive domestic and international network.

From 26 October, Air New Zealand will operate three return services a week to WSI,

becoming the airport's inaugural international airline and giving customers a second Sydney

option alongside its existing services to Sydney Kingsford Smith.

The new route will operate Monday, Wednesday and Friday each week using the airline's

A320 and A321 aircraft. Flights will depart Auckland at 6.00am, arriving at WSI at 7.45am.

The return service will depart WSI at 8.55am, arriving back in Auckland at 2.10pm.

Air New Zealand General Manager Australia Kath O'Brien says the Western Sydney route

represents more than a new airport; it opens up one of Australia's fastest-growing regions

and is an important addition to the airline's trans-Tasman network.

"More than 2.5 million people live in Western Sydney, including a large community of New

Zealanders. Flying directly into the region gives our customers another way to travel across

the Tasman, while also strengthening business and tourism connections between New

Zealand and Australia.

"The Western Sydney team has built a world-class terminal that will deliver an outstanding

travel experience. Whether you're a Kiwi travelling to Western Sydney to visit family or to

explore the Blue Mountains or are a Sydney-sider visiting New Zealand or connecting

onwards the Pacific or North America, this new service creates more options and more

choice."

Tickets are on sale now, with one-way Seat only fares from Auckland to WSI starting from

$319 NZD.

WSI CEO Simon Hickey said he was delighted that Air New Zealand's WSI flights would

create more choice and flexibility for family and friends, holiday makers, and business

travellers between Australia and New Zealand.

"It's a great time to be strengthening the trans-Tasman connectivity, given both Australia and

New Zealand represent each other's largest inbound market, with those numbers increasing

each year," he said.

"Travellers will be able to move through our state-of-the-art terminal with ease thanks to our

efficient, digital check-in experience, enjoy a touch of shopping via our retail partner,

Lagardère AWPL, and relax at their departure gate in a comfortable seat with handy charging

portals and stunning views of the nearby Blue Mountains.

"With final operational preparations continuing each day and only 100 days to go until our

inaugural international flight – we can't wait to welcome travellers to Sydney's new 24-hour

global gateway."
