Air NZ chief executive Greg Foran has confirmed the contract and work on engines for Saudi military is terminated. Speaking to RNZ's Checkpoint, Foran did not confirm however whether there would be a financial penalty in ending the contract. He said the job was being returned as incomplete. The person who signed off the contract with Saudi Arabia was about four levels down from Foran, he said, as it was a $3 million contract. "If it had been a $5 million contract it would have actually been escalated to someone who reported to me," Foran said. He said Air NZ was doing a full review of the process.
