Air New Zealand is recovering with a strong half-year profit of $299 million.

The airline confirms that this growth was boosted by sustained demand and high ticket prices after three years of Covid-related losses.

Air New Zealand CEO Greg Foran acknowledged the increased ticket prices were as much a factor as the lack of low-cost seats and high inflation.

Greg Foran says they're working hard to get their service back to pre-Covid standards again and travellers can expect to see progress over the course of the year.
