We booked a trip to NZ for the Wanaka Airshow next year, and our flights from Sydney to Christchurch were both on Jetconnect, however our return flght is now being changed to a JQ. Maybe our trip over is before they start, maybe only some services are being taken up. Maybe the to will take over more of the mainline QF traffic except for the USA flights.
After all NZ is just a domestic flight to the islands off the coat of Oz!!
I am sure its all about cost, and the new Hairbus must be cheaper to run than the old 737's left over from QF and AN.
