You will likely see a mix of C208/PA31 flights to/from KT. <br />In order to offer a 23 kg baggage allowance the PA31 is operated as an 8 seater.

Hopefully summer will pick up the loads, and they will get better fit with the caravan maybe doing some runs as well to reduce direct operating. There is still potential I see with the reduced schedule. The re-formatting of tickets will probably gain some Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8397738201762479975.post-72180720919394910152015-10-20T20:13:00.545+13:002015-10-20T20:13:00.545+13:00The dilemma they are facing is the exact reason Ai...The dilemma they are facing is the exact reason Air NZ/Eagle Air were forced to withdraw their attention to the region. And the same can be said for the Soundsair WAG-WLG run. At least these operators have given it a go. As for the 208 - it seems to be fully employed on the island run and either RDT or VIP flying the Northland run.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8397738201762479975.post-85612419340550729782015-10-20T18:54:37.505+13:002015-10-20T18:54:37.505+13:00Bugger.

If things didn't pick up in wonder whether they could operate just one service a day? Wouldn't suit the business people, but I'm sure there would be others that would use it. Really hoping it picks up for them! Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
