Do you know if direct flights to the Cook Islands from Australia will recommence in July 2011?

Question from reader, Judith of Sydney, NSW

We certainly think they will recommence. Air New Zealand operated a direct service Sydney/Rarotonga once a week during the peak holiday season of July to October 2010 on a Sunday from Sydney and Friday from Rarotonga. Flight time for the 5000 kilometre journey is six hours from Sydney and seven hours 15 minutes from Rarotonga.
