Sunair Returning to Whakatāne

 

The number of airlines operating regular services from Whakatāne Airport will double in January, when Sunair Aviation debuts its new weekday service to three regions. Dubbed “the big little airline”, Sunair flies across the regional North Island and expects to offer direct flights from Whakatāne to Gisborne, Napier and Hamilton from January 13. Sunair owner Dan Power said the company was working to expand on air travel services provided between regions in the North Island, and the plan had always been to include Whakatāne... The schedule includes flights departing Whakatāne for Hamilton in the morning and Gisborne and Napier in the afternoon. Flights will arrive in Whakatāne in the morning from Gisborne and Napier, and in the afternoon from Hamilton. The Sunair fleet is comprised of six-seater twin engine Piper Aztecs and four-seater Cessna 172 aircraft. Flights range in price from $280 to $390, depending on destination.
