Busiest NZ Domestic routes?
Hi,
This has been puzzling me for a while what the busiest domestic NZ routes are. Does anyone have the information?
I'd be confident in saying the top 3 would be
1) AKL-WLG v.v
2) AKL-CHC v.v
3) WLG-CHC v.v
But after that? Maybe AKL-ZQN? AKL-PMR? AKL-NPE? AKL-NSN? CHC-DUD?

On a seats per sector basis, I'd say the WAG-AKL route would be up there. I fly the route frequently and a relative who travels to AKL weekly says that the morning service is most often a sell out, with all other services near full capacity. Just my thoughts anyway :-) TRG-CHC is another busy busy route
