Domestic demand was up 10 per cent, and the Tasman and Pacific Island markets continued to perform strongly for the airline, Luxon said.

Airlines and fuel companies are so similar.. Quick to raise retail prices when costs go up, but incredibly slow to drop prices when costs go down.
I think this year will be an interesting one for Air NZ. AA and QF are in a position to inflict some pain.

More entertaining are the comments with the article.
I think it's great they're doing well. Just from personal observations i think there has been a massive increase in people flying to NZ and I get the feeling it's not just air NZ that are doing well out of it. I'm starting to wonder if busy season will ever end!
