New Zealand business and tourism sectors report multiple shifts

New Zealand businesses and tourism sectors report several developments. Speirs Foods has entered voluntary administration following a period of financial losses and previous operational challenges, including product recalls and ingredient shortages.

In the grocery sector, Foodstuffs grocers are collectively opposing a proposed split of the company. This comes amid political discussions regarding supply chain management and market competition.

In aviation, Singapore Airlines has claimed a top world airline title, while Air New Zealand has seen a decline in its rankings. Meanwhile, the Department of Conservation (DOC) plans to install a bridge gate at the Hooker Valley Track to manage surging visitor numbers.

Additionally, Auckland Airport's international departures are expected to exceed pre-pandemic levels during the September school holiday period.
