Air New Zealand announced that its chief executive Greg Foran will be stepping down after five years at its helm, though he will be staying on until October.
The announcement was made today, 6th March, in the wake of Air New Zealand’s ongoing struggles over global supply chain disruptions, as well as issues regarding engine maintenance.
Airline chair Dame Therese Walsh expressed gratitude for Foran’s leadership especially through a slew of challenging times.
Walsh said: “While these challenges impact our operations almost daily, Greg’s relentless focus and global profile have been instrumental in mitigating the consequential disruptions on our customers.”
Air New Zealand has not, as yet, named a successor for Foran, though it has initiated a global search for its next CEO.
Leadership in demanding times
Foran led the Kiwi flag-carrier throughout some of the most turbulent times in its history.
In recent years, the airline faced numerous challenges unique to New Zealand, mostly due to its location on the globe.
The outgoing chief executive joined the airline just as a global pandemic came into play, and his tenure was marked by equipment shortages, as well as the grounding of a significant number of aircraft.
Foran has also steered the company through greater regional competition from the likes of Qantas and Virgin Australia, and was the one who ordered the retrofit for Air New Zealand’s Dreamliners; the latter is set for completion later this year.
Namia River Retreat in Hoi An, received two nominations for the Travel + Leisure Luxury Awards Asia Pacific 2025.
The luxury retreat is up for consideration in two categories, namely Hotel Spas and Upcountry Hotels.
This recognition highlights Namia’s commitment to luxury and exceptional hospitality, offering a blend of cultural discovery and holistic wellness. Inclusive, elegant, exceptional
Since it opened in December of last year, Namia River Retreat swiftly established itself as one of Asia’s most unique wellness destinations.
Nestled on a tranquil islet along the Thu Bon River, just a 15-minute bicycle ride from the UNESCO Heritage Town of Hoi An, the resort is a sanctuary where the rhythms of nature and the essence of Vietnamese culture come together, making it the perfect destination for an authentic and mindful escape.
In just a short time, Namia has captured the attention of global travellers and media alike, being featured in a slew of global lifestyle, travel, and luxury publications including The New York Times, Wallpaper, Financial Review, Robb Report, LATTE, and Tatler Asia among others.
This nomination from Travel + Leisure further cements Namia’s place among Asia Pacific’s most distinguished hospitality experiences.
A jewel in the Vietnamese countryside
Namia’s nomination in the Upcountry Hotels category reflects its unique location and cultural experience offerings.
The resort offers guests an escape into nature while paying homage to Hoi An’s rich heritage and the vibrant fishing villages through its design.
Drawing inspiration from Hoi An’s traditional fishermen’s boats and countryside houses, Namia’s 60 villas feature private pools, seamlessly blending with the natural surroundings and offering breathtaking views of either the verdant forest or the serene Thu Bon River.
For travellers seeking a more immersive and authentic experience, Namia River Retreat offers a new gateway to experiencing the rich heritage of Hoi An and Vietnam, with curated experiences thoughtfully crafted to connect people, cultures, and wellbeing.
The resort’s immersive mini-tours are designed to deepen guests’ connection to the region, where every experience, from engaging with skilled artisans to embarking on bamboo bicycle rides through the lush Nipa Forest or enjoying a sunset river cruise, reveals the essence of local life.
Where traditional modalities meet contemporary style
Namia’s wellness philosophy, developed by Lumina Wellbeing, the wellness consultant and operator of the resort, is deeply influenced by Thuốc Nam or Vietnamese herbology, a folk healing system passed down through generations.
The resort’s spa concept, a key factor in its nomination for the Hotel Spas category, embraces a range of wellness programs to foster deep relaxation and body-mind balance.
Such programmes include:
Two distinctive wellness pathways available under the wellness-inclusive offer (Mind & Body), tailored to guests’ self-assessments or preferred goals during their stay; and treatments and prescriptions are designed in collaboration with local herbalists and traditional doctors.
The herbal hammam experience, inspired by the Vietnamese herbal steam therapy “Xông Hơi” using herbs found in southern folk steaming remedies.
The signature treatment at Namia: “Diện Chẩn”, an oriental facial reflexology technique developed by Professor Bùi Quốc Châu, a Vietnamese acupuncturist during the 1980s.
Mindful moments & rituals: “Dưỡng Sinh” movement class in the morning, daily walking meditation inspired by Thich Nhat Hanh’s “Peace Is Every Step” philosophy.
To conclude the day, guests can enjoy in-room rituals like a mugwort and cajeput bath soak.

Preliminary January 2025 traffic figures released by the Association of Asia Pacific Airlines (AAPA) showed that international passenger markets enjoyed a robust start to the year, driven by a surge in leisure travel during the Lunar New Year festive period.
The region’s carriers achieved a solid 19.9% year-on-year growth for the month, transporting a combined total of 35.2 million international passengers. Demand as measured in revenue passenger kilometres (RPK) increased by 22.5%, markedly surpassing the 17.4% year-on-year expansion in available seat capacity. Consequently, the average international passenger load factor rose by 3.5 percentage points, to an elevated 83.7% in January.
Despite growing uncertainties in the broader trade environment, air cargo markets also sustained growth in the new year. Higher demand for consumer goods in anticipation of the festive season, resulted in a 4.7% year-on-year increase in international air cargo demand as measured in freight tonne kilometres (FTK), adding to the double-digit growth recorded in January 2024. Expansion in belly-hold space, drove a 10.9% year-on-year increase in offered freight capacity. Average international freight load factor dipped 3.3 percentage points to 55.2% for the month.
Commenting on the results, Subhas Menon, AAPA Director General, said: “The year began on a positive note for Asia Pacific carriers, with both international air passenger and cargo markets posting encouraging growth, underpinned by the timing of the Lunar New Year holidays.”
Menon added: “The relatively high load factors reflect strong demand but also ongoing capacity constraints, compounded by the grounding of aircraft due to engine issues and delays in aircraft deliveries. These challenges have contributed to an increase in expenditure on maintenance, aircraft leasing, and labour, while greater competition saw to lower yields and operating margins.”
Looking ahead, Menon concluded: “Growth prospects remain promising in the coming months, against a backdrop of steady expansion in global economic activity. However, ongoing geopolitical and trade tensions pose potential risks to both business sentiment and consumer demand in the months ahead. The region’s airlines are closely monitoring developments, whilst carefully managing costs to boost operating economics.”

This growth is largely attributed to enhanced regional connectivity and stronger links with international markets, driving expansion opportunities.

Countries such as Japan, Macao, the Maldives, Mauritius, South Korea, Thailand, the Philippines, China, Cambodia, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and India are playing a pivotal role.
