Back in the 1980's there was a regular Air NZ 737 CHC-HBA on saturday competing with them was TAA 727 later on Air NZ added a second weekly flight. Now all Passengers will usually fly via MEL to get to NZ from TAS. Today in 2009 there is still no direct flights. Is the market viable now that is the question? If it was viable in the 80's the markets have grown since then would it be viable for direct flights again? Virgin's E-jet would be suitable for this market as a A320 would be to big a plane to fill. A E190 with 104 seats would be easier to fill than a A320 at 180 seats. Two flights a week would be an ideal start eg 1 HBA-AKL and 1 HBA-CHC.

Airport aspires to NZ service --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From today's Mercury, http://www.themercury.com.au/article...ania-news.html Quote: HOBART Airport is continuing to work towards the possible re-establishment of a regular service to New Zealand. The airport has been talking with its counterparts in Wellington, Christchurch and Auckland. In 1998 Air New Zealand ended a Hobart-Christchurch service that had operated for 17 years. In its final years the service ran weekly from October until the end of summer. The only international direct flights from Hobart Airport now are Australia's Antarctic flights. But Hobart Airport CEO Brett Reiss said the airport had aspirations to international regular services in future. Mr Reiss said if such a service eventuated it would probably be to Auckland. "We are a capital-city airport but effectively serving a regional population," he said. Until taking up his current position Mr Reiss was commercial services and airport planning general manager at Christchurch International Airport. He said Christchurch had about 360,000 people and the Hobart region about 200,000. "The two population centres aren't quite big enough to establish a daily service, certainly not," he said. "Somewhere like Auckland with 1.5 million people allows you that critical mass you need, you get far more demand." Mr Reiss said most talk about a New Zealand service had been with the airports. "Auckland remains a target and we've had some reasonable discussions with the airport and some initial discussions with an airline," he said. Hobart Airport and border agencies have discussed the potential for an overseas service starting as early as 2010. Daily HBA-AKL sounds good! I wonder which airline is in discussions? |

If Jetstar can't make a daily service to BNE work, I fail to see how a daily service to AKL could work? Having said that, I think AKL would make more sense than CHC. Good luck to whoever (if anyone) tries this route.

The same could be said about the middle of the night Qantas ADL-AKL service which was also not profitable so it got axed. They not realise the awful time people have to get to the airport to take the direct flight most people will end a prefering a daytime connecting flight.
