Do you like Air NZs decision to buy A320s
IF NO please state which aircraft you would rather have then A320s

I would like any Boeing 737 NGs

boeing all the way... no airbus!

Boeing 737-700/800!

boeing 737-800

It would be nice if Air New Zealand had A all boeing jet fleet

The thing is, most people are biased for no reason. I voted yes simply because of the fact that the Airbuses are newer and the Boeings are getting a bit shabby. New stuff is cool

Exactly. Where's the 'Don't care, they're both pretty much the same thing' option? I just voted yes.

Bugger! I voted yes by mistake, so one of those yes votes should be a no.

No, I don't like their decision, but at the end of the day ANZ know better than me.

I personally would have liked to see them upgrade to newer 737s.

Does it really matter? They bought the A320's because apparently they are cheaper overall. I don't think anyone cares enough about flying in an A320 or a 737 to pay extra if the other is cheaper. I know I'm certainly going to take the cheapest flight, and as it is I think I find the A320 more comfortable anyway.

Your all right
When it comes to the end of the day
It dosn't matter Which plane you fly in
As long as the plane gets you were you want
Without problems

I went to OZ on a airbus a320 ,i thought the interior was nicer than the flights ive had on the boeing aircarft in the past ,kinda like a old school bus or a luxury tour bus is the difference for me ,the rest of the flight was good and i really like the use of the joysticks rather than a yoke ..
New is cool and id be happy to see airbus in our skys more ,they still have other carriers that use boeing so we wont miss out seeing them flying ..

I don't get what the big fuss is about this A vs B (not just this recent ANZ thing, but every A vs B discussion). They're both planes, they both fly and they both get to their destination. End of discussion.

Yes I am happy they are buying A320s, not because it's airbus, but because they're actually upgrading to newer aircraft. Lets face it, the 737s are getting a bit too old for the current time (greenies).

Well ... I'm going to be very politically incorrect and say that I voted A320 because I'm fed up of NZ being dominated by all things American

To qualify that - I don't think I've met an American yet that I haven't liked. I just hate their "culture" and most things the USA appears to stand for!! Not that the UK/Europe (or is that "yewp"?) is that much better. So I suppose my vote would go to the TB320H ... the Tibetan Hang Glider

They should bring back the DC3

It's completely offtopic sorry, but Adamski, have you ever been to America? or met a real american? Don't judge them by George Bush, or what you see on tv They are AWESOME people at ground level. So friendly and welcoming.

always always and a thousand times more always NO NO NO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

poxy slow awkward unrealiable pieces of sh1t

boeing always!

would you really trust something made in a place called TOOLOOSE!?

Oh and those that are claiming that the Airbus is new...well so would the B737's that would have been bought.... ie. brand new....right off the production line, 0 flight hours sort of thing... whats this nonsense about the Boeing's being old and the Airbus new?? Oh and before you tell me the A320 is a newer design, the A320 went into service in 1988, and the Boeing 737-700/800 in 1998 (10 years later)

Air NZ!!

Yes but the 737 origins go back nearly 50 years to the mid 60s.

I only "stopped over" a couple of times. But - yes - (as I said, I think) - they're great people, no question. I've had (and still have) some great American friends. Funny how you can love the people but hate the country

On reflection, I think ANZ should've bought the aircraft best simulated in MSFS, hahahaha! There again, we'd all be branded as potential terrorists ... grrrrr
