From Midday Report, 12:47 pm on 26 November 2021

A small flight operator is winging its way to help Marlborough Sounds' residents still restricted by damaged roads.

Isolated communities were cut off in July's storm.

Now the local council is subsidising air travel for affected residents, visitors and business. 

Tickets cost $25 per person from Picton or Wellington.

Pelorus Air chief executive Cliff Marchant talks to Māni Dunlop about the service.
