In light of the recent Government announcement, Sunair Aviation will be ending all non-essential air services for the next 4 weeks. It is unfortunate, but the health and safety of our country is a top priority at this time. Enjoy this time with your loved ones, stay safe and we hope to see all our services restored in due time. ❤️🛩

  2. Since Air Chathams is one of two transport services between NZ and the Chatham Islands, did Air Chathams get a funding from the $600 million aviation fund to operate as an 'essential' service to/from Chatham Islands? I hope they did.
