Bring it on - the regions have been neglected for years by Air NZ and others.. Tiger will definately shake up the market and expose the soft underbelly of AirNZ ...
Hot Tuna you might be closer to the sun than your location indicates. Your commments don't make sense.
Why do you think the regions have been "neglected" as you put it? Perhaps there's not the business to support services to these regions?
There's a whole range of services that "neglect" the regional areas. Let's use McD's and the Red Sheds or any major chain store as an example. They are only situated where is makes business sense to do so.
New Zealand is a country larger than the British Isles but with a population about half that of London which has about 14% of the total British population. We don't have the population to support all these airlines.
I predict that should Tiger come to NZ they will neglect the regions also.
