Predictable ending unfortunately. Good that Air Chathams are picking up the aircraft and most of the staff.

Another entry in the roll of honour of failed third level airlines in NZ.

Well, that lasted a couple of months more than I thought it would. Another quality Wilson business venture (with someone else's money...). At least Air Chathams will give some future to the staff. Why do people still provide capital to such ventures?

It's actually all JETSTAR's fault. If Jetstar served every domestic destination Air NZ serves (instead of merely cherry-picking on certain routes), then I GUARANTEE Air New Zealand would never, ever have withdrawn services from anywhere in NZ and left Jetstar to it. Simple, really....

Wanganui's the winner out of this, if there is one........... Yep....good to see the small place winning. It's a bit like the long-ongoing fuel price-war between Gull and the others in Masterton. Only a mug drives over the hill to Wellington with insufficient fuel to make it back, then has to pay Wellington fuel prices to get back home. People over the hill who visit Wairarapa moan about the fuel prices in Wellington when they see what we pay in Wairarapa. Another example of the small place winning.

Yes we here in Wanganui have cheap petrol as well.

If you think his work vehicle is using fuel at that price, you are wrong by a factor of about two.
