By Imran Ali - Northern AdvocateChanges to flight times from Whangarei to Auckland return are disrupting commuters who have raised their concerns with Air New Zealand through local MP Dr Shane Reti. Mr Reti also asked for an explanation on delays and cancellations of the last Whangarei to Auckland flight at 6.35pm before the new flight times came into effect this month. Air New Zealand said there would always be trade-offs as the company was unable to meet the specific needs of travellers in every airport. Until October 30, Air New Zealand ran four flights each way from Auckland to Whangarei every day except Saturday when there were three flights. She said when she told an Air New Zealand staff she may miss her connecting flight, she was told she would be fine.
