    The fight for flights to the Cook Islands is heating up

    The fight for flights to the Cook Islands is heating up


    Jetstar is resuming its direct flights from Auckland to Rarotonga today, with three weekly flights to the islands.

    Prior to the pandemic, Jetstar had flown the route for four years.

    It rejoins Air New Zealand, that has at least one flight a day to Rarotonga.
