Sunair was on One News tonight saying they're in discussions with Far North Council about a AKL-KAT service using a 12-seater aircraft with initial estimates of fares similar to exisiting AirNZ fares.
The aircraft type wasn't mentioned but they only have a fleet of 6 seater Aztecs, so they'll have to intro a new type or hope they don't notice that 2 Aztecs have 12 seats combined and the 2 pilot operation is not your normal airline multi crew set up
