Summary
| Description |
Air Travel (NZ) Ltd was founded by Bert Mercer in 1934 and was the first airline in New Zealand to fly scheduled air services. The company flew a number of De Havilland biplane aircrafts, which serviced areas on the West Coast. Air Travel (NZ) Ltd's first scheduled flight took place on December 18, 1934, from Hokitika to South Westland, and occurred shortly after the airline began delivering mail. In 1945, the company came under government control but continued until 1967, when the national air carrier NAC began flights into Hokitika. Over the 33 years that Air Travel (NZ) Ltd was in service they operated a number of De Havilland biplanes, including three Fox Moths, two Dragonflies, a Dragon, and a Dragon Rapide, out of Hokitika's Southside Airfield, located on the south side of the Hokitika River. The first flight undertaken by Air Travel was in the De Havilland Fox Moth ZK-ADI. The above image is of the De Havilland Fox Moth ZK-ADI on the West Coast circa 1940’s, and is from Archives New Zealand’s former Post and Telegraph/Telecom Museum Holdings collection.
