Whangarei-Kaitaia Flights to be on Offer



Yesterday the NZ Herald published an article on flight cancellations to Northland which included an interesting little snippet about Sunair. The airline's flight operations manager Dan Power told the Herald, Sunair focuses on flying its passengers province-to-province on a direct flight, so they don’t have to transfer. It will be extending its services in spring with daily flights between Kaitāia and Whangārei: a route not offered by anyone else. Sunair already flies medical staff between Kaitāia and Whangārei and has decided to extend this service to the public, Power said.

  1. $290.00 for a 125km flight! Must be the highest price charged for a scheduled flight of that length in NZ

  2. Scratch that - $390.00 for a WHK-HLZ flight! At that's only 140km!

  3. Still well under priced compared to the true cost of operating the flight. I guess the industry can continue working for McDonalds wages or the market can accept that what is happening now isn’t sustainable
