Air NZ reconsidering service to NZWP
TV3 are reporting on their web site Air NZ are considering operating to and from NZWP (Whenuapai).
Given their constant bickering with NZAA (AKL) over landing fees and given 50% of Auckland's population live closer to NZWP than NZAA this is a very sensible option to evaluate.

I don't see anything come from it. Just posturing over the latest airport fees. Even if it did eventuate, I'd guess it would split domestic flights between Auckland and Whenuapai but international would only be from Auckland. Which is a negative for many pax - less easily connecting flights, likely higher fares to Auckland (vs Whenuapai) and an annoying airport shuffle.
