Air New Zealand says its on track to boost earnings by 20 per cent for the first half of the year.

This would push pre-tax earnings to $166.8 million for the six month period.

"The company has made good progress year to date and remains on target to exceed last year's earnings for the full year," the airline said in an NZX notice.

The airline said it made the forecast now it had sufficient confidence in the expected outcome of the important December month together with the greater certainty around the costs for voluntary redundancy following recent labour contract settlements.
