Solomon Islands Airlines
Solomon Islands airlines have added a weekly direct flight from Auckland to Brisbane to its network.
The flight kicked off last Friday where Solomon Airlines departs every Friday at 6.00am NZDT, arriving in Brisbane at 6.45am AEST, allowing for a full day of work or easy transfer to other flights.
Solomon Airlines also offers same-day flights from Brisbane to Solomon Islands’ capital Honiara, and Munda in the Western Province, making for a same-day connection between Auckland and Solomon Islands.
A return flight from Brisbane to Auckland is set to depart each Friday at 6.25pm AEST, with scheduled arrival at 12.30am NZDT on Saturdays.
Solomon Airlines also flies from Auckland to Port Vila, Vanuatu, twice a week on Tuesday and Saturday.
The new weekly service not only adds to seat availability on the trans-Tasman but with two onward connections through to the Solomon Islands, the option of same-day travel for seasonal workers.
John Wopereis, Commercial Manager at Solomon Airlines said: “The Auckland-Brisbane flights in both directions are timed to provide great connectivity, making travel easier and affordable for business and leisure travellers and Recognised Seasonal Employer (RSE) workers, as well as those visiting friends and family in Australia, New Zealand and Solomon Islands.”
Mr Tasker also acknowledged the importance of regular connectivity from Solomon Islands to Auckland for seasonal workers.
“Solomon Airlines flights through to Brisbane and onward to the Solomon Islands is a great example of how reliable air connectivity brings a range of benefits to New Zealand’s economy. Our horticulture and viticulture industries in particular have been able to grow and develop through access to this important seasonal workforce.”
