Originair introduces Jetstream into service

17 June, 2021

Originair, via its official Facebook account, stated (16-Jun-2021) it introduced its Jetstream (ZK-JSJ) into service. Originair CEO Robert Inglis stated: "COVID-19 issues have delayed the preparation of this aircraft for service, however the delay has been worth waiting for, as the aircraft looks and performs like new". Generation Global refurbished the aircraft, and Fieldair carried out all engineering work. Mr Inglis said the aircraft will be used to increase Nelson-Palmerston North frequency to four times on a weekday, and twice on a Sunday. The aircraft also supports "increasing demand in charter services".
