Would have been probably much better as an Scoot route doing WLG-MEL-SIN, in which they probably would of been able to pickup passengers from around New Zealand. The market ex-WLG would be pretty small and limited for SQ, with frequent travelvers knowing that AKL/CHC have better product from SQ/NZ.

One would presume the NZ/SQ agreement prevents TR from entering the New Zealand market? Although fares on New Zealand to Asia are already stupidly low, maybe TR could pickup that traffic?
