Re: New Zealand Aviation Thread - September 2022

Hi team,
Just a question about Air New Zealand regional ops, why did they decide to bring them all under the Air New Zealand, brand it must have made economic sense.

Was it logistically a big change or pretty much just changing airline codes to NZ and callsigns to New Zealand

Many thanks
