The Palmy-Nelson sectors are probably going to be stopped somtime in the near future as are the Hamilton-Nelson sectors. All because AirNZ are looking at starting up services on these sectors and Origin will not be able to compete. Just like the Hamilton-Christchurch service that Origin were supposed to do.
There are two Metro's in the Origin paint scheme that do freight and the odd pax service. They are both operated by Air Chathams, one is owned by Origin.
