Originair has responded to an initiative by Nelson’s Mayor Nick Smith, and an approach from Nelson Hospital, by scheduling Nelson to Blenheim flights to assist travellers during the forthcoming road closure between the two regions. Initially the flights will be operated twice daily, morning and evening for the first two weeks of the road closure before a flight schedule is finalised for the remaining weeks.
The special return flights Nelson to Blenheim will commence on the 1st of November, departing Nelson at 7.40am and 4.00pm. The flights from Blenheim will depart at 8.40am and 5.00pm. The flight time will be approximately 20 minutes. The standard one-way fare will be $89 or $99 (for a flexi changeable or refundable fare).
Great idea. Hope it works for both origin and the public
