Jarden is predicting Air New Zealand will announce a full-year dividend in August.

This will be the first full dividend for Air New Zealand since pre-Covid.

Pattrick Smellie says this proves Air New Zealand was able to bounce back quickly and maintain high profit margins due to lack of competition on several routes.
