Originair is dedicated to keeping communities connected. With the changing seasons comes an updated winter schedule for our Wellington-Westport services, effective May 14th, 2025. As demand often shifts during the winter months, these adjustments ensure both sustainability and convenience for travelers.


Adapting to Seasonal Demand

Since launching the service in January, we've observed that weekend flights—particularly on Fridays and Sundays—have had significantly stronger support than the mid-week flights. Our updated schedule now offers 600 seats monthly across four flights per week, operating on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays.


More Affordable Travel Options

To complement the new schedule, we're introducing additional advance purchase special fares, offering travelers cost-effective options to visit Westport or Wellington during the winter months.


Looking Ahead

Originair remains committed to providing reliable air connectivity between Westport and Wellington. While these changes cater to current seasonal and economic conditions, our flight schedule will be reviewed later this year with the aim of increasing the schedule to reflect seasonal demand and the economic conditions at that time.

Whether you're planning an adventure on the wild West Coast or taking a trip to the capital, Originair continues to prioritise your travel needs with thoughtful adjustments and sustainable solutions. Book your winter flights now and enjoy the journey!
