Air New Zealand wants to fly hydrogen-powered aircraft.  

It's teaming up with Airbus to research such planes.  

Chief Executive Greg Foran told Mike Hosking says it's on the table for domestic flights.  

"So they will use green hydrogen to fly, and on shorter routes we'd actually use electric." 

It's hoped hydrogen-powered aircraft will be part of Air New Zealand's fleet by 2030.
