    Air New Zealand's dismissing David Seymour's claims its financial strife is down to 'woke' endeavours

    Air New Zealand's dismissing David Seymour's claims its financial strife is down to 'woke' endeavours

    The airline lost 59-million dollars before tax in the six months to December 31 - a net loss of 40-million-dollars after tax.

    CE Nikhil Ravishankar says it's a tough result but not an unexpected one.

    He denies the ACT party leader's concerns 'greenwashing' projects are soaking-up funds.

    Ravishankar says despite what it might look like from the outside, he can assure people his company isn't getting distracted by environmental related strategies.
