I would have thought one would want to leave kaitaia early to go to Auckland and do the days business and return at the end of the day. But trying to get to Auckland on time for a 530pm departure ??

From an outsiders point of view, it almost looks like both companies are shedding aircraft (and cost) to stick around. Hopefully they have both made it through the difficult times now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
