Originair Quietly Drops Napier


It appears as if Originair has quietly dropped Napier with it no longer appearing on the airline's on-line reservation system. The Napier flights were offered twice weekly from Palmerston North to Napier allowing a connection to and from Nelson but these have operated sporadically over the last few weeks, particularly after Cyclone Gabrielle. The last flights, OGN 814 from Palmerston North to Napier and the return OGN 815 were operated on the 10th of April 2023 by BAe Jetstream 31 ZK-JSH.

  1. Does Originair still operate on Nelson to Napier nonstop and Hamilton to Napier?

  2. HLZ-NPE has not been operated in a long time. And NSN-NPE direct flights have not operated in a long time either, only via the PMR connection.

  3. Probably hard to compete with airnz selling seats for less than it costs to operate the routes

    1. With the greatest of respect, that old chestnut doesn’t really fit with the routes Origin fly.
