Shane Jones is the hot air beneath our wingsCPL Sam Shepherd, NZ Defence For Is this the future of regional air services? OPINION: Of course Regional Development Minister Shane Jones is right to criticise Air New Zealand for not fully servicing the regions any more. READ MORE:* Shane Jones calls for Air NZ chair to step down, asks CEO to step down or shut up* Shane Jones continues war of words with Air NZ as chairman hits back* PM defends Shane Jones' warning to Air NZ to stop shutting down regional flights* Concern for future of Kāpiti Coast Airport after Air NZ axes flights* Air NZ announces regional network cuts​For instance I don't see why Air New Zealand shouldn't be providing a regular air service to Diamond Harbour, where I live. You will recall how former deputy leader of the party, Ron Mark, set up his own little regional air service recently. Shane Jones will be wondering if he has the support of his cabinet colleagues.
