Nice picture selection. I often see that air2there caravan in Christchurch they must do a fair bit of charters. PPQ to CHC would be a long flight for it, but there was demand for the route when Air Nelson use to fly it. Although the Q300 was a bit too much for the route.
ReplyDeleteThe middle day services flown by Air Nelson still achieved good metro to Saab like loadings.
DeletePerhaps in the future when more ATR growth aircraft come on line that will free up a surplus Q300 or two to trial routes again.
An overnighting early and late service between kapiti and Christchurch would absolutely be popular. Especially as the catchment population continues to steadily increase.
However at this point there is simply no spare assets to trial such a service.
