History

The airline started operations on the 25th of June, 2015. [2] Its primary contract is with the courier division of the Freightways Group and New Zealand Post. It is a wholly owned company by a 50/50 Joint Venture. The Boeing 737 has a payload of 17 tonnes it carries 11 cargons of freight on each trip. Due to the rapid growth of online shopping there was a need to replace the smaller ageing Convair CV580s operated by Air Freight NZ with the larger Boeing 737s. [3]

Destinations

Parcelair operates freight services between Auckland, Christchurch and Palmerston North, [4] Sydney and Melbourne. [5]
