Gezundheit Matty ...
Ahem yeah because Whenuapai and Paraparaumu are both being investigated by Air NZ as low cost alternatives to AKL and WLG.
Now that could be the point ?
Maybe the E-190 is not intended for regional services at all but rather for a service between NZPP and NZWP ?
Bless you again Matty
I just love this place... If you sleuth enough you can figure out just exactly what Air NZ is planning.
Perhaps Air NZ wants a large TP for regional centres and the E-190 for it's main trunk battle with Pacific Blue ?
