Description: An action plan to help keep small airlines flying regional routes is expected to land on the desk of the Associate Transport Minster any day now. Air NZ serves 20 regional areas, but the smaller carriers are the only ones flying to places like Wairoa, Masterton and Stewart Island. From the end of next month Sounds Air is canning its flights from Blenheim to Christchurch, and Christchurch to Wanaka, due to what it has described as out of control costs. Associate Minister of Transport, James Meager spoke to Lisa Owen.
