  2. Don't think that would be able to do MRO-AKL... well not comfortably though. WLG-WHK could work though!

  3. Um, WHK-WLG and AKL-MRO actually don't have a lot of difference. Back in the day of Eagle, WHK - WLG was scheduled for 70 mins and AKL-MRO was scheduled for 75mins

  8. There no way this is being used for RPT. Unless they think people will be paying four figures for a ticket...

  9. Intended to be based in the Chathams for emergency flights out - a role the Metro performed with distinction when it was based there.

    1. Metros always perform with distinction.
      30 years on and still most economical 19 seater.
