The airline said it had filed patent and trademark applications for what it is calling the Economy Skynest. Air New Zealand was still assessing whether it could include other features like a USB outlet and a reading light. Tod said that when that route launches Air New Zealand would decide on whether to go ahead with the Skynest. The cost of the Skynest for customers has yet to be determined, but it would be separate to the cost of booking a seat on the flight, an Air New Zealand spokeswoman said. If the product takes off, Air New Zealand said it is open to licensing the Skynest to other airlines.
