G'day,

Just curious if anyone knows if the overnight mail/courier run between AA and WR (operated by Mountain Air/FMS) is still going? Haven't seen them come in for a while is all....

Tinpis,
Need a fleet for that job, only growth industry in the country now it would appear.

Actually not too sure myself, my dad usually keeps a eye on what is going in and out of Whangarei, the only thing active there seems to be the skydiving!
I think that mail route is late arvo, and I dont think they overnight there anymore, maybe continuing on up north? Only a guess cause I see a twin labouring out with a right hand turn off of 24 every now and then.
