KEY ANNOUNCEMENTS
Channel Infrastructure (CHI, #33) reports total fuel throughput of 820 million litres for Q2 FY25, with jet fuel volumes stable and petrol/diesel throughput aligning with Envisory's fuel demand outlook. Thirteen import shipments were received during the quarter, down from 16 in Q2 2024 due to a shift toward larger Long-Range vessels. Variability in throughput reflects downstream tank maintenance outages. The Z Energy jet storage project remains on track and within budget, while the bitumen terminal is scheduled for H2 2026 delivery. Net borrowings reduced to $297m as of 30 June, and conversion capex stands at ~$189m, also tracking to plan.

New Zealand nationals made up 57% of international non-transit passengers, with Australians, Chinese, Americans, and Indians rounding out the top five.

Domestic passenger movements grew 2%, though load factors dipped to 80% due to increased capacity. Queenstown Airport saw a 6% rise in international and 3% rise in domestic traffic.
