THAI have not yet disclosed a timeline for a return to Auckland, although there have been rumours of late 2026. This would be an interesting development if NZ proceeds to fly this route, perhaps under a JV with TG?

Quite selfishly this would certainly suit my travel pattern. Let’s see if anything comes of this.
