Air New Zealand Media Conference
28 November 2008 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 and on lease to XL Airways for the
past two years.
The aircraft was being flown by XL Airways
to Frankfurt where it was due to be handed back to Air New
Zealand for a ferry flight back to New Zealand.
Sadly, we
have been notified that four 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 I can assure that the full
resources of the airline are being put into investigating
what may have happened and providing support to our people
and their families.

And what rap musician can afford to turn their back entirely on the ‘hood, when staying street and staying real is what their audience demands of them..?
