(Reuters) -Air New Zealand on Wednesday forecast a loss before tax for the first half of fiscal 2026, citing higher engine lease costs and the absence of an expected revenue pickup from domestic and U.S.-bound bookings.
The flag carrier is anticipating to report a loss before taxation for the six months in the range of NZ$30 million ($17.20 million) to NZ$55 million.
