Sounds Air have announced that they have extended flights on the Blenheim - Kaikoura route for the remainder of the year. Flights will be available through to 31 December.
Sounds Air operates up to 5 flights per week on the Blenheim - Kaikoura route.
Not ideal for New Years travellers
ReplyDeleteI suspect the road will be open by then...
ReplyDeleteThey say the road north of Kaikoura will be open, but only just. It’ll be single lane in parts, stop/go controlled, and if the road south is anything to go on, it’ll be curfewed. Then the weather will play a big part in opening/closing it while they still work on it.
ReplyDeleteI think the “open road” is just a token gesture to say they’ve done it, but it’ll be another year at least until it’s fully operational. In the meantime, frequency might lower, but I think Sounds Air have another couple of months work there.
No reason they shouldn't continue the service if it remains well supported, hopefully the locals keep using it :-)
