Is the promised 40-minute sea glider service between Whangārei and Auckland still on track? Why select Northport as the terminal instead of the Town Basin?
In our second episode of True North we speak with Ocean Flyer CEO Shah Aslam about his company’s plans and how they’re progressing.
Two years ago he told us this would be happening next year. Is that still the plan? How does he expect Air New Zealand to react? How is Ocean Flyer dealing with consumer nervousness around the safety of this new mode of transportation?
