“The introduction of direct services will provide a valuable boost to the Cook Islands community and with the support of the Cooks Islands Government and Cook Islands Tourism we will be working hard to make this trial a success,” said Air New Zealand general manager Tasman Pacific airline Glen Sowry.
Air New Zealand will be the only only airline to operate direct services on the route.
