| Associated Air timetable No.6, 2 April 1984 |
Associated Air in 1984 operated a small scale airline service from Paraparaumu aerodrome to Auckland, Blenheim, Nelson and Christchurch (via Blenheim) to connect the Kapiti Coast to those centres, saving the then lengthy drive on SH1 into Wellington. At the time it flew Piper Aztec and Cessna 402 aircraft with flight times of 1hr 35min to Auckland. The
history of Associated Air is on the 3rd level blog. The company had origins in 1975, but commenced provided scheduled airline services in 1982. The airline would operate scheduled services until 1998, as competition from Air Nelson would prove to be too much (and Air Nelson was closely co-ordinated with Air NZ at the time).
