Air Chathams to resume Auckland to Norfolk Island

Air Chathams will resume weekly return flights from Auckland on Thursdays commencing 27 May 2021. Flight time will be around two hours 45 minutes departing Auckland 10.30am and arriving back around 4.45pm same day aboard one of Air Chathams’ fleet of Saab 340 turbo-prop aircraft which will offer cabin for up to 36 passengers and include in-flight food and beverage service. Norfolk Island has remained virus-free through the global pandemic and offers visitors a relaxing holiday and an escape from crowds. Duane Emeny, Air Chathams chief operating officer, says the resumption of flights is a positive step forward for the industry and the airline.

‘We had really only just settled into our scheduled flights to Norfolk when the pandemic hit causing us to cease flights in March last year. Kiwis in the past made up half of all visitors to Norfolk Island and we hope to provide the reliable, safe and regular service to draw that market back. We’re resuming with flights starting from $239 plus applicable international departure taxes.’

Air Chathams’ flights to Norfolk Island will again depart Auckland International Airport Terminal. Travellers are required to present a passport and complete a Norfolk Island Entry Pass which must be submitted 24 to 72 hours prior to departure for approval.
