Air New Zealand A320 Accident

An Airbus A320 operated by XL Airways of Germany has been lost in the Mediterranean. That aircraft is one that is owned by Air New Zealand but has been on lease to XL Airways for the past two and a half years. The aircraft was being flown by XL Airways to Frankfurt where it was due to be handed back to Air New Zealand on Monday 1 December 2008 for a ferry flight back to New Zealand. We have been notified that three Air New Zealand employees may have been on board the aircraft as passengers on this ferry flight to Frankfurt. “Naturally, this is an extremely difficult time for us all and the full resources of the airline are being put into investigating what may have happened and providing support to our people and their families,” says Air New Zealand CEO Rob Fyfe.
