The longest domestic


Air New Zealand is set to trial a first ever direct service between Invercargill and Auckland. The company's announced it plans on using its Airbus A320 jet aircraft for the route from the second half of 2019. However, the trial service will only operate five days a week. And with a flight time of approximately two hours, the new service will be the longest domestic Air New Zealand flight. It will depart Invercargill at 6am and arrive in Auckland at 7:55am.  The Auckland-Invercargill service will depart at 7:35pm. Air New Zealand Head of Regional Affairs Reuben Levermore said the community has been demanding it. "The Southland community has told us a direct Invercargill-Auckland service is important and we've been working closely with stakeholders to achieve this.  "The challenge will be for the community to support the trial of a direct service to ensure it's sustainable, and we're confident they'll do so."

  1. Not the first time, the 737s used to do it over the summer months several years ago as was referred to by staff as the NZ1 of domestic flying.....

  2. Interesting. I wonder how they are going to crew this. If its the same crew that does the 6am departure that flew in the evening before I would think they would be infringing minimum rest periods. Perhaps they are going to base a crew in Invercargill?

    1. They'll pax a crew in mid afternoon on a link service to operate the morning leg. They'll then pax out the crew who operated the flight in (probably) mid morning on another link service.

    2. The crew will overnight in Invercargill most likely being a Christchurch based crew as part of direct CHC/AKL/CHC operations scheduling.
