Live on Barrier Air's reservation system now are their new Great Barrier Island-Tauranga flights which start on the 2nd of December 2022. The airline is starting the new service with three flights being offered each week on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays. The flight from Great Barrier Island to Tauranga will depart at 4.20pm and arrive at 5.00pm. The return flight will leave Tauranga at 5.45pm and arrive at Great Barrier Island at 6.25pm. An economy fare is $175 while a premium fare in $189.
Barrier Air's CEO Grant Bacon said "It is great to be growing our route network into destinations like Tauranga. The population in the city is at a level which we think a scheduled service to Great Barrier Island will work well and it gives us a base at Tauranga to pursue other routes in the future. These are uncertain times and operating costs are going thru the roof but the 3 x weekly schedule gives us the opportunity with limited exposure."
Looks like flights don’t commence until 2 December
ReplyDeleteWhen does it start? Went to book return flights but couldn't find any.... flicked through the calendar right though and couldn't find any flights listed....
ReplyDeleteThey say they might start other routes out of Tauranga in the future. Perhaps a TRG to WRE route might be next.
ReplyDeleteTRG to North Shore if Barrier Air can get the logistics to work in peak commuter time slots.
DeleteSunair are going to hate them!
ReplyDeleteSunair should have thought about that while they persisted with archaic aircraft and a third world website.
DeleteCome on, at least they're operating!!!
