Tasman flying ambitions might have changed today for a few. NZ boosting its border charges from $20 to $46 from December 1. That’s the profit margin gone right there, if even that, in what was already a very marginal market.
So a return NZ airfare now totals about $250-$300 of taxes and charges. Renders low cost airlines on the Tasman unsustainable, great work Jacinda.
