Air New Zealand aims to improve punctuality and attract more premium customers as part of a strategy reset. The airline has delayed the delivery of two new Boeing 787 Dreamliners as part of its plans.

According to RNZ, the company wants to improve customer experience and focus on higher-yield segments. Delaying the deliveries is intended to give the carrier flexibility in fleet planning.

With cost pressures and supply delays continuing across the aviation sector, companies are emphasising premium cabin investments. Analysts said a shift toward premium passengers could support profitability. The results of Air New Zealand's strategy will be seen in the period ahead.
