Air New Zealand bids farewell to Boeing 767s
Air New Zealand's Boeing 767 Air New Zealand has retired its fleet of Boeing 767 aircraft, more than 30 years after the aircraft were first introduced. The airline's last remaining 230-seat 767-300 aircraft took off from Sydney on Friday, for a trans-Tasman flight to Auckland. Upon arrival in New Zealand, the aircraft will be removed from service. Since entering the national carrier’s fleet in 1985, the 767 has flown the majority of Air New Zealand’s long-haul routes. In recent years however, it has been progressively replaced by the larger and more fuel-efficient 787-9 Dreamliner. The airline has a total of 13 787s on order, with deliveries running until late 2018. "The Boeing 767 aircraft has been a stalwart at Air New Zealand for more than 30 years now but moving to operate the modern 787-9 Dreamliners on our long-haul routes will allow us to be more efficient and have a consistent wide-body fleet which will deliver benefits to both the business and customers," said Air New Zealand's chief operations integrity & standards officer, Captain David Morgan. "The use of the larger Dreamliners will result in a capacity increase of around 3% on the trans-Tasman and Pacific Island routes. Customers also get to experience our business premier and premium economy cabins on the 787-9 aircraft.” The move also forms part of Air New Zealand's bid to simplify its fleet, with a three-model fleet consisting of single-aisle Airbus A320s and twin-aisle 777s and 787s.

Cirium Introduces First AI-Powered Solution for OTP Analysis
Representative Image Cirium has launched OTP Improvement AI, a groundbreaking generative AI-powered solution designed to transform how airlines and airports analyse and enhance their On-Time Performance (OTP). This innovative tool addresses long-standing challenges in operational efficiency and disruption management, offering faster, smarter, and more proactive decision-making capabilities. OTP Improvement AI sets itself apart by addressing the specific challenges airlines and airports face, such as the time-intensive nature of traditional OTP analysis and the struggle to manage cascading delays caused by factors like weather or technical issues. By using advanced generative AI, the platform transforms complex data into precise insights, enabling operators to trends, streamline resources, and make swift decisions that minimise delays and improve the overall passenger experience. “Operational disruptions, whether caused by weather, strikes, or unforeseen technical issues, can create a ripple effect across the air travel system,” said Jeremy Bowen, CEO of Cirium. “With OTP Improvement AI, we’re equipping the industry with the tools to anticipate these challenges, take swift action, and ultimately deliver a better experience for passengers.” A New Standard in Operational Efficiency This cutting-edge platform enables aviation stakeholders to move beyond reactive problem-solving to predictive decision-making. Airlines and airports can analyze delay propagation, monitor block times, and assess unplanned disruptions with ease. The tool also supports scenario planning, benchmark analysis, and performance reviews, creating a 360-degree view of operational dynamics. For example, an airline experiencing cascading delays due to severe weather can use OTP Improvement AI to test and identify possible alternative solutions, minimizing passenger impact and operational costs. Airports could similarly optimise resource allocation, ensuring better alignment with real-time conditions. By connecting directly to Cirium Core which includes the OTP data, the solution sets a new standard for accuracy and insight across the aviation value chain. Driving Results Across the Aviation Industry The launch of OTP Improvement AI underscores Cirium’s commitment to driving digital transformation in aviation. Through AI-driven insights, the platform aims to enhance situational awareness, improve operational performance, and support industry players in meeting rising demands for agility and efficiency. “Many operational teams today lack the tools to anticipate and mitigate disruptions before they escalate,” Bowen added. “Cirium’s latest solution empowers these teams with data-driven intelligence, enabling them to stay ahead of challenges, reduce delays, and improve decision-making across the board.”
Hôtel de Sers in Paris Reopens After Full Renovation
Hôtel de Sers, part of the B Signature Hotels & Resorts collection located in the famous Triangle d’Or, just moments from the Champs-Élysées and Avenue Montaigne, has reopened its doors following a comprehensive renovation that honors its 19th-century heritage while embracing a refined, contemporary vision of hospitality. Once the private mansion of Henri-Léopold Charles, Marquis de Sers, the hotel retains the architectural splendor of its Haussmannian origins. Key period features have been meticulously preserved, including the carriage entrance, a monumental marble staircase with wrought-iron detailing, and the original salon de réception with ornate moldings and soaring ceilings. The renovation, led by interior architect Pascal Allaman in collaboration with owners Anne and Agathe Jousse, was focused on enhancing the property’s historical identity with a fresh, modern sensibility. Hôtel de Sers’ atmosphere of quiet sophistication sets the tone, where the interplay of light and material is central to the design narrative. Soft, golden herringbone parquet floors and restored wood paneling create a warm, tactile foundation, while custom lighting subtly highlights the architectural detailing throughout the hotel. The 45 rooms and seven suites are decorated in a palette of neutrals featuring dove grey, sand, pearl, and cream, accented with exotic-print textiles, vintage objets d’art, and brushed brass fittings. Velvet-upholstered headboards, fluted wall panels, and sculptural furnishings offer a boudoir-inspired comfort that evokes both 1930s glamour and contemporary elegance. Carefully curated wallcoverings and geometric carpets contribute texture and rhythm, while tall windows let in abundant natural light, enhancing the hotel’s serene ambiance. On the top floor, three Signature Suites embody the new vision of the property. The Eiffel Suite features uninterrupted views of the Eiffel Tower, a warm mix of wood and ivory tones, and bespoke furniture that pairs sleek lines with inviting comfort. The Panoramic Suite offers a spacious, open-plan layout, with its living room beneath a glass roof, a wraparound sofa, marble writing desk, expansive windows framing the rooftops of Paris and a breathtaking view of the Eiffel Tower. The Marquis’ Apartment resembles a large Parisian family home, complete with light oak flooring, wall tapestries, iridescent beige curtains and discreet gold accents throughout. All of the rooms within the newly reopened property cultivate the intimate lived-in luxury of a Parisian private home. Outdoor space is a defining feature of the newly reimagined Hôtel de Sers. Half of the hotel’s rooms and suites now include a private terrace, and of those, approximately half offer coveted views of the Eiffel Tower. The Suite Eiffel boasts not one but two furnished terraces, one extending from the living room and another from the bathroom, both offering spectacular vistas of the Iron Lady. The Marquis’ Apartment features a large terrace with a partial Eiffel Tower view that opens onto a secluded garden, complete with elegant outdoor furnishings. These open-air extensions serve as tranquil oasis above the city, inviting guests to enjoy al fresco breakfasts, sunset aperitifs, or simply the rare luxury of space and sky in the heart of Paris. Throughout the hotel, design continuity and visual harmony have been prioritized. The 22-meter (72 ft) entrance gallery, a hallmark of grand Second Empire mansions, is lined with portraits of the Marquis de Sers' lineage, offering a dramatic prelude to the experience. This gallery opens into the lobby, where soft mineral tones and ambient lighting create a tranquil first impression. Géraldine Prieur’s custom-designed graphic rugs provide a bold yet elegant transition from the lobby into the restaurant and bar, tying together stone textures with the sun-warmed palette of the lounge. One of the hotel’s most striking spaces is the glass-canopied courtyard patio, now transformed into a leafy urban sanctuary complete with iron trellises, citrus trees, and streamlined teak furnishings. It serves as a hidden retreat from the city, ideal for quiet afternoons or intimate evening gatherings. Completing the renovated guest experience is a new wellness area and a new partnership with French wellness house, Calma Paris. The space includes a massage room, a traditional hammam, sauna, and a state-of-the-art fitness studio. From public spaces to private rooms, every element at Hôtel de Sers has been thoughtfully curated to reflect the elegance of its heritage while offering a sanctuary of calm in the bustling heart of Paris. Room rates at Hôtel de Sers start at 490 € per night.
