Good Megan sorted out jet fuel crisis ….well done the Government
@Megan_Woods
Great news! Jet fuel allocations back to normal after work between Government, fuel companies, airlines and airports to manage a temporary shortfall due to ‘off-spec’ shipment of fuel last week. Monday’s shipment available to Akl airport from tomorrow & 3 more due by 26 Dec ✈️

Would these planes be more limited in size or range? They look like they world struggle the Auckland to Wellington trip
Compared with the ATR-72 600, Alice has less than 1/3 the range*, 2/3 cruising speed, 1/7 passenger load, and 1/6 total payload capability.
EDIT: I've omitted the A320 figures because IMO it's not a fair comparison between a turbofan with electric-prop based aircraft. The ATR's also service the sectors you've mentioned.
*The manufacturer has listed the VFR day range, but in the short time I researched this, I couldn't find figures for average conditions, hence 1/3 is probably optimistic.
