Ceased to exist

See: https://www.business.govt.nz/companies/app/ui/pages/companies/482535

The company register shows that Air Post was wound up 30 Sep 2013. So I have updated this article to reflect the change, all postal flights are now operated by Airwork Ltd aircraft and crews.

perhaps!- the ref and the associated documents simply states that the company Airpost ltd was merged back 'read the attached certificate of amalgamation' into NZ Post in 2013 - this may or may not mean that the airline and the joint venture with Airwork ceased to exist at this time. Do the planes still have airpost written on them? what call signs do they use? etc etc. Existence is much more than ownership. All that being said with the move from the old aircraft and the upcoming sharing of freightways aircraft the whole thing probably about to change again anyway and will need rewritten when a sensible and reliable reference turns up.

Aircraft are all white with no name on them except for the 737 with a blue tail. Only the old 737-200QC since been sold had Courier post titles on it. I got an email from NZ Post that Air Post was wound up. I have heard that Air Freight will also be amalgamated with Airwork to form one company.

Here is an extract from the email, names removed for privacy:
Thank you for your enquiry regarding Airpost.

I would like to apologise for the delay in responding to you.

The "AirPost" Joint Venture between NZ Post Ltd and Airwork Ltd was disbanded in 2007.

The airfreight requirements of NZ Post Ltd are met through a range of supply and lease agreements that are held with a number of suppliers, including Airwork Ltd.

The air fleet and network schedule is currently the same as that shown in the Wikipedia page; however we are transitioning to a new 737-400 based network over coming months.

I hope this has gone some way to answering your question today.CHCBOY (talk) 00:55, 29 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
