Looks like a realistic price structure. Maybe Air NZ was not that bad after all eh!
ReplyDeleteMaybe Air NZ will regret that they are pulling out now.

ReplyDeleteI'm certain that Wanganui/Whanganui will not be the last provincial centre to loose Air New Zeal flights. The argument: "people can drive 70 to 100km to reach their nearest Air New Zeal port" means it's only a matter of time before Blenheim, Timaru, Tauranga, Taupo and Hamilton loose air services - especially with bigger aircraft operating fewer flights. My encouragement to Wanganui: embrace Air Chathams like Whakatane has done!
