An airline that is yet to get off the ground plans to take bookings for flights to the Cook Islands from March, despite the fact the company still does not yet have a plane, and there are no signs of Covid-19 travel restrictions lifting. Real estate businessman Mike Pero is spreading his wings into aviation with his new company Pasifika Air. Pero is offering a money back guarantee if Covid-19 grounds flights from Christchurch or Wellington to Rarotonga, or if there's no isolation-free travel. He told Checkpoint he is aiming for take-off in June.
