The Australian airline posted a photo showing a handwritten letter received from Air NZ chief executive Greg Foran along with a gift of a pavlova. Thanks for the pav @FlyAirNZ… it looks familiar 🤔 pic.twitter.com/3oU50pHvZI — Qantas (@Qantas) April 6, 2021In it, Foran says: "It's been a while since we spotted a kangaroo flying over Aotearoa". A handwritten note begins with "G'day Air New Zealand" before seeming to suggest a pavlova goes down better when topped with mangoes. The riposte came as Air NZ and Qantas planned to ramp up flights between Australia and New Zealand once the bubble opened on April 19. Air New Zealand expects to fly between three and five flights per day from Auckland to Sydney after April 19.
