The route was last operated seasonally by Virgin Australia (NZ) Launched in 2015 and quietly dropped a few years later. Back of the clock flying.

Newshub yesterday;"In desperation to get something going, I took it upon myself to find out what was available in the way of charter flights and we are very close to bringing together a deal with a recognised airline," he told Newshub.

"It's not Air NZ. I wanted it to be Air NZ, but they don't have the resources."

He said plans to operate direct flights between Christchurch and the Cook Islands have been "on the go" for six weeks and the direct route would mean just a five-hour journey from the South Island, rather than via Auckland which can add hours to the trip.”

Air NZ don’t have the resources. Seems odd.
