According to Originair's schedule twice daily flights between Hamilton and Palmerston were to commence on the 28th of March 2021 after the arrival of a third Jetstream. From the reservations system the start date seems to have been delayed until the 3rd of May with the twice daily flights only operating on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. By then what was a relatively busy route for Air New Zealand will not have been operated for 13 months so Originair will have a job to lure business passengers back to it. It still, in my opinion, needs to improve the proposed schedule.
That's annoying. Our Travel & Events team were aware of the possible twice-daily flights and were holding back on making bookings until they were up and running.
ReplyDeleteOnce a day flights don't work well, and middle of the day flights lead to wasted days. We have a number of people that move between Palmerston North and Hamilton offices as well.
