Kaikoura and Blenheim flights busy...



Sounds Air's flights between Blenheim and Christchurch and in and out of Kaikoura to Blenheim and Kaikoura have been busy with all flights last week fully booked. A couple of snippets adds to the picture... 


Sounds Air adding an additional flight between Blenheim and Christchurch route for a limited time only. From Tuesday 29 November to Friday 2 December the company will operate a Blenheim- Christchurch service departing at 12.30pm and a Christchurch to Blenheim service departing at 1.50pm

This extract gives a little more insight into Sounds Air's Kaikoura operations. I see nav aids are being talked about... I would have thought it was a matter or urgency to put a GPS approach into Kaikoura as part of the Government assistance package...

Flights from Marlborough airline Sounds Air were also in high demand, with the company almost fully booked for flights in and out of Kaikoura for the next two weeks. Managing director Andrew Crawford said the company was in talks to start shifting seafood out of the town, and was also delivering tonnes of mail and freight for New Zealand Post. He said they were in discussions to install navigational aids at Kaikoura Airport so Sounds Air planes would be able to land and take off in less conducive weather. "We'll keep the service open as long as demand is there and certainly as long as the road is out," he said.
