Great Barrier and fly my sky both use the same system. <br /><br />As a side, Airnz don't market regional flights differently from jet flights, everything is sold as an airnz flight.

I mentioned a 2nd level national airline 'brand' not 'airline'. I am fully aware how both Air Chathams and Soundsair operate.<br /><br />I also disgree with your comment that Soundsair future is uncertain, as Soundsair is a shrewd carrier and knows what it is doing.

Air Chathams is mainly a freight operation, with Chathams passengers part of a combi model based on freight revenues, plus small passenger operations to Whakatane and Whanganui which it can do on the margin from its Auckland base.
