Dal 1° novembre 2011, Air Tahiti ridurrà il programma dei voli per le isole
Moorea, Tuamotu e Austral a causa della diminuzione del numero di
passeggeri su alcuni segmenti. La compagnia opererà nelle tratte:
Da Papeete a Moorea: 18 voli a settimana – da Moorea a Papeete: 10 voli
Da Papeete a Manihi: 6 voli a settimana
Da Papeete a Fakarava: 5 voli a settimana – da Fakarava a Papeete: 6 voli
Voli tra le isole nell’arcipelago Austral: 1 volo a settimana.
Air Tahiti Nui è stata fondata nel 1996 per promuovere a livello
internazionale il turismo a Tahiti e per assicurare un servizio efficiente
e di qualità alla popolazione della Polinesia Francese. Infatti la
proprietà della nostra azienda è locale e la maggioranza delle azioni
appartengono al governo della Polinesia Francese, mentre gli standard
di qualità e sicurezza sono garantiti dall’Autorità Civile Francese.

La giustizia Australiana ordina di mettere fine allo sciopero dei dipendenti
della compagnia aerea Qantas, che potrebbe riprendere i voli nelle prossime ore.
Plaude la compagnia aerea: i voli riprenderanno il piu’ presto possibile.

Cathay Pacific aggiunge 3 voli non-stop per Adelaide, South Australia.
Adelaide, bella, vivace e affascinante capitale del South Australia,
da novembre 2011 sarà ancor meglio collegata con l’Asia e con il mondo.
Infatti la Compagnia aerea Cathay Pacific aggiunge altri 3 voli non-stop da
Adelaide a HongKong, oltre i 4 voli già esistenti via Melbourne, creando
così ulteriori possibilità di coincidenze giornaliere con almeno altre
36 destinazioni e voli verso Cina, Giappone, Korea, Thailandia, Nepal,
Vietnam,Filippine, Taiwan e India, nonché New York, Vancouver,
Toronto, Dubai e Los Angeles.
Questa interessante novità si pone all’inizio dell’estate australiana,
consentendo così a turisti e visitatori di utilizzare la maggiore capacità
disponibile. Cathay Pacific collega Hongkong con Adelaide dal 1992, in un
crescendo di voli e frequenze mentre, negli anni, è aumentato
notevolmente il numero di passeggeri leisure e business oltre al
segmento giovani e studenti diretti in South Australia.
