Today marks the end of Eagle Air services through Auckland as well as to Wanganui, Taupo, Rotorua, and Tauranga. The Hamilton to Auckland service also ends today.
Eagle Air first started flying to Auckland on the 16th of June 1980 when Embraer Bandeirante ZK-ERU introduced four flights a day between the two centres replacing Air New Zealand's Friendship service between the two centres.

Took my last Hlz-Akl-Hlz ride on Friday. Did the 6am depart...little bit late leaving. Still worth it and full both ways.
ReplyDeleteThe effect on booking options and prices are so obvious. Flights to Australia now via Wellington if you cant be arsed driving up to Akl and risk parking up the car.
Barrier Air from tomorrow with a surprisingly good network connection to upper centres.
