Kiwiair changes schedule
Kiwiair will be flying on a new timetable from 12 November which should provide better service for the central North Isiand, according to Steve Ewen, manager of the airline. From that date the airline will be based in Wellington and will depart from there each Tuesday and Thursday at 8.00am, calling at Ohakune, Taumarunui, Tokoroa and Auckland. On Tuesday the flight will return via the same destinations, departing from Auckland at midday. On Thursday departure will be at 5.00pm, allowing passengers a day's business or pleasure in Auckland. Mr Ewen said the airline had recently purchased a twin-engine Piper aircraft which can safely operate on the grass strips common in this area. "The Volcanic Plateau is poorly served by airlines for both tourist and local community trade," he said. "We would like to develop a service which gets tourists here, as well as helping the people who live here." Kiwiair also offer charter flying.
