Air New Zealand is considering merging its two regional subsidiaries with its main jet business to save costs. But one travel agent thinks it could be part of a plan to introduce jet services to some regions.
In a written statement Air New Zealand said it was exploring whether there were efficiencies that could be gained by integrating its turbo prop operators Air Nelson and Mount Cook with its jet operation.
"To be clear there is no plan to close these regional turbo prop airlines, or to stop flying to any of our current regional destinations, or to stop operating the Q300 and ATR turboprop fleets."
