Kiwi Air timetable 18 March 1985

In 1985 KiwiAir started flying, headquartered at Paraparaumu, but with a schedule primarily to serve the skifields near Ruapehu (going to Karioi airfield, listed as suitable for Ohakune, Raetihi, Taihape and Waiouru, but now inactive). The key routes were Wellington to Ohakune and Auckland to Ohakune via Tokoroa, presumably because the range to fly from Auckland was insufficient (fares were apparently not sold between Tokoroa and Ohakune). The objective was to cater for ski field business, with fares to reflect this, but the airline was not a success.
