Over the last 6months NZ’s OTP seems to be going down the drain, understanding that the 789s have caused them
major fleet issues although that isn’t all of it.

Should New Zealand bring in more regulation like the EU, to make the airlines responsible for there delays? For example an Passenger traveling on NZ has way less rights than an passenger traveling on EU registered airline in the event of an delay caused by operational reasons.

Every NZ flight I’ve had this year has been delayed by atlesst 30minutes, and some of the reasons are getting pretty pafectic. Sure I know at times delays can’t always be avoided, but some of them are comming down to NZ being cheap and too cost effective while no one holding them accountable.

For example last night NZ734 left BNE around 45minutes late, for reason accouced “delayed departure due to cleaners running late”. It’s constantly little things like this happening on the Tasman since NZ saved an few dollars and switched to SwissPort in Australia. Yet there seems very little accountability to the OTP, apart to booking other airlines now on....
