Have just come across this route map:

From when is it? ANZ LINK still flew to places like Mount Cook and Westport.

At a guess about 1992.
The fact that it shows National and Link routes means it was definitely after the Fokker. Mount Cook operated the 748's to Mount Cook and the Chatham Islands so that would suggest it's pre 1995.
Also it shows a 737 being operated between Wellington and Hamilton which it did twice a day in the early 90's.

More like the late 80's around '88 or '89.

Didn't Mr Cushing get rid of the Fokker in 89?
NZ648 /NZ649 operated CHC-WLG-HLZ-WLG-DUD when I left in 94 and there was definitely a 737 overnight in the early 90's cause it came south as NZ641 is the morning HLZ-WLG-CHC and the route map shows both link and national HLZ-WLG.

I had a magazine that my nana got with that same route. The even flew to Te Anau.

I think that it was either 1991,1992,1993,1994 or maybe 1995
Definitely one of the five. I might try and look for it.

It's somewhere from 1994 to 1996.

I have a timetable here from October 1992 that has more jet routes on it than that. Mine has jets at Invercargill, Napier, Hamilton and Palmerston North along with the usual crowd. That one only has Hamilton.

Err, yes. Got slightly confused. I meant to write Paraparaumu.
