Now that Norfolk Island is well within the warm embrace of the Commonwealth, will we see Qantas or Virgin strive to aid in the bridging of the psychological gap between our people. It's a little scandalous that direct flights are only offered by Air NZ.
Air NZ does the direct flight because they won the Commonwealth Government contract to do so. I doubt anyone else would fly that route whilst ANZ has a contract (if anyone else is even allowed to?).

Yet only a few moments ago did I check the QF flight availability to Norfolk. Nada.
