The wet least of Nauru Airlines Boeing 737-300 VH-PNI to Samoa Airways concluded 07 October when the jet arrived in Auckland from Apia as PAO2731. It then departed for Brisbane as RON803.
Meanwhile, I-NEOS remained parked at their maintenance provider Airwork NZ hangar as at early 09 October but was back in service later in the morning as PAO732 to Apia.
Fiji Airways appear to have stepped into the breach to cover with an A330-200 operating Nadi-Apia-Sydney-Apia-Nadi on the weekend, and DQ-FJP operating Nadi-Apia-Auckland-Apia-Nadi today.
Posted 04 October 2018:
Samoa Airways leased Boeing 737-800 I-NEOS became "unservicable" at Auckland after its arrival from Samoa 03 October 2018. Brisbane-based Nauru Airlines was hastily pressed into service and Boeing 737-300 VH-PNI positioned into Auckland as RON802 arriving after dark prior to operating a very delayed PAO732 back to Apia.
