17 Dec 2003
Wellington International Airport is delighted that Pacific Blue Airlines has announced the commencement of services from Wellington. An initial daily service to Sydney will begin on 10 March 2004.
It is two and a half years since the Virgin Blue aircraft touched down in Wellington. Wellington Airport has worked with Virgin Blue and Wellington's tourism industry since that time to achieve the commencement of new services. Wellington's new airport facilities provide the perfect platform for Wellington to support Pacific Blue's style of operation.
The Pacific Blue flights will provide greater opportunity for Wellingtonians to enjoy trans Tasman travel and generate an increase in visitors to the city. This is further endorsement of the attractiveness of Wellington as a tourist destination.
