Christchurch Airport says regional carrier Originair will start twice-daily services between Blenheim and Christchurch on Oct. 19, which officials said will preserve a key South Island connection.
The move follows a swift transition to keep travel options available for communities across the island. Airport officials noted that the route supports both business and leisure travel, enabling patients to access specialist care at Christchurch Hospital.
Originair will operate 18-seat British Aerospace Jetstream 32 turboprops crewed by two pilots. The airline and the airport are coordinating to ensure a seamless operational start.
