What do you do with a third Jetstream?

 

Originair introduced its third Jetstream, ZK-JSJ, into service this week! The introduction of another aircraft to the Originair fleet provides the airline the capacity to not only increase current scheduled services but also supports its increasing demand in charter services. CEO Robert Inglis said “Covid-19 issues have delayed the preparation of this aircraft for service however, the delay has been worth waiting for, as the aircraft looks and performs like new”. Nelson’s aircraft interior experts, Generation Global, have refurbished the aircraft and the Freightways NZ Ltd owned Fieldair at Palmerston North, have carried out all engineering work, including fitting overhauled engines, undercarriage and propellers. Aircraft testing has been carried out recently by the Company’s Training Captain and crews. Inglis said “Initially the aircraft will be used to increase the Company’s popular direct services from Nelson to Palmerston North to four flights each weekday with two Sunday services. The introduction of another aircraft to the fleet also provides the airline the capacity to not only increase current scheduled services but also supports its increasing demand in charter services”.
