Why should this airline be added?
757’s in Oceania are exceptionally few and far between so this is quite special. The airline began as a charter operator in 1994, flying between New Zealand and Australia using a leased Air Nauru 737-400 (It had no visible difference so I’ve not included it here) between Hamilton and Brisbane. This expanded to other Queensland cities on the coast until in August 1995 when Kiwi got its first 727-200 to replace the leased 737-400 allowing it to operate scheduled flight to Sydney. The 727-200 was replaced at the end of 1995 by the leased Air 2000 757, followed by the A320 then the 737-300, conducting scheduled flights to Sydney from Hamilton and Dunedin via Auckland and Christchurch. At the start of September 1996, the airline was liquidated and the aircraft returned to their lessors.It would be a cool airline to see in Oceania, providing a 757 to a region which never had them and a 757 for SYD too, plus it would be another livery to have at the airport.
