Boeing CEO Visits NZ as Air New Zealand Faces Aircraft Shortages

At the time of writing, Air New Zealand Limited (NZX: AIZ) is grappling with a prolonged aircraft shortage, with 14 planes—including Boeing 787 Dreamliners and Airbus A320-neos—grounded due to ongoing engine supply chain disruptions. CEO Greg Foran expressed frustration during the airline’s annual select committee review, citing a “two- to three-year fix” for global engine procurement challenges.

In a notable move, Boeing’s new CEO, Kelly Ortberg, made the company’s first-ever leadership visit to New Zealand two weeks ago, likely addressing concerns amid Air New Zealand’s fleet struggles. Despite these challenges, the airline remains committed to resuming normal operations while navigating supply chain delays. Industry analysts are closely watching how Air New Zealand manages its fleet limitations and whether Boeing's engagement will help mitigate disruptions. #AirNZ #Boeing #Aviation #SupplyChain
