Air New Zealand has confirmed it will not host a Pink Flight to Sydney Mardi Gras in 2012. Marketing communications executive Neil Patton says it's due to resource and budget constraints. "This is not to say that it'll never happen again….never say never as the saying goes!" Patton says. "Given the amount of fun that was had at this year's fifth anniversary I'm sure it's not the last we've seen of the Pink Flight." The drag queen-hosted trans-Tasman flight has run every year since the inaugural "Flight of the Fairies" in 2007, jetting New Zealanders to Sydney in an abundance of style, with Air New Zealand providing entertainment and endless cocktails at the airport beforehand, and throughout the trip.
