Following the announcement of the trans-Tasman bubble, Air Chathams have announced that they are resuming flights to and from Norfolk Island from May 27th. The timetable has been adjusted to see them flying from New Zealand to Norfolk Island on Thursdays departing Auckland at 10:30am allowing easy connections from domestic flights. Flights will arrive back into Auckland at 4:45pm, again allowing for easy transit to destinations outside of Auckland. Air Chathams are also adding an additional departure in each direction from Monday August 2nd. operating on the same schedule.
Air Chathams will also be introducing a new aircraft type on this route - the Saab 340.
So is it double frequency or just Thursdays?

DeleteThe way I read the story is that initially in May it will be just one flight on a Thursday with an additional flight on Mondays starting in August. The way they are going they will need some more aircraft as the SAAB utilization seems quite high at the moment.
ReplyDeletesorry just reread the story and realized question answered
