Qantas-NZ deal rejected

[Kiwi Flyer]

6300 empty seats is a lot more than 11 x A320, unless they are squeezing in 572 seats in each aircraft! Something does not add up.

referred to 2 return flights, thus reinforcing my suspicion it is total all group airlines (or possibly all airlines even those not associated with QF/NZ) and counting both ways

The document refers to seats for sale for the Trans-Tasman so I take it to mean for every airline that sells it. Also I would like to point out that I would preferrably purchase an empty seat for myself than a seat that already has a passenger on it!

Air NZ estimates!

I think the number is real, albeit poorly (perhaps even wrongly) worded and bad use of stats to mislead.
