Air New Zealand will tomorrow (Saturday) commence the first direct air services between Sydney and Rotorua, utilising a 152 seat A320 aircraft.
The inaugural services to and from Rotorua are due to touch down at Rotorua International airport from Sydney at 2:35pm tomorrow, before departing for Sydney at 3:35pm.
“The commitment from tourism and business operators, the Council and general public has been outstanding,” says Air New Zealand General Manager Tasman Pacific Airline Glen Sowry.
Air New Zealand is operating twice weekly services on Saturdays and Mondays until the end of January, after which it will operate on Saturdays and Tuesdays.
“The Tasman is a tough market and we need the enthusiasm and support to continue for the service to be a success. The launch of the new Central Park marketing campaign will position Rotorua as the gateway to this region, and help drive further interest in the direct trans-Tasman services,” says Mr Sowry.
