About Norfolk Island Airlines
Norfolk Island Airlines was a regional and domestic Australian airline based on Norfolk Island. It operated services to the Australian mainland from Norfolk and Lord Howe Islands. In 1973 the airline began serving the Norfolk Island - Brisbane route, expanding to Lord Howe Island Airport in 1976. The route between Norfolk Island and Brisbane was around 800 nautical miles (1,500 km), making it one of the longest commuter airline routes in the world.
About Norfolk Island
Norfolk Island is a small island in the Pacific Ocean located between Australia, New Zealand, and New Caledonia, 1,412 kilometres (877 mi) directly east of mainland Australia's Evans Head, and about 900 kilometres (560 mi) from Lord Howe Island. Together with two neighbouring islands, it forms one of the Commonwealth of Australia's external territories. At the 2016 Australian census, it has 1,748 inhabitants living on a total area of about 35km2 (14 sq mi). Its capital is Kingston. The island served as a convict penal settlement from 6 March 1788 until 5 May 1855, except for an 11-year hiatus between 15 February 1814 and 6 June 1825, when it lay abandoned. The evergreen Norfolk Island pine is a symbol of the island and thus pictured on its flag. Native to the island, the pine is a key export for Norfolk Island, being a popular ornamental tree on mainland Australia, where two related species grow, and also worldwide.

Norfolk Island Airlines makes its final flight
The airline was set up to ensure direct flights to New Zealand continued after Air New Zealand stopped flying that route. Prohibitive taxes meant the airline discontinued the New Zealand flights in January and the last Brisbane flight is on Saturday. The chief executive, Glen Buffett, said they found the raft of expenses resulting from Canberra's direct control of the island too onerous.
