Norfolk Isalnd is serviced by both Air New Zealand and a charter plane controlled by the local government. The Air New Zealand flights operate every Wednesday and Sunday and the chartered flights from Sydney and Brisbane operate on Saturday and Wednesday. Flights direct to the Island from Sydney or Brisbane take approximately 2½ hours. The Air New Zealand journey takes just 1½ hours from Auckland or 2½ hours from Christchurch.
The trip from Melbourne or Adelaide requires a change of planes in Sydney, so it normally takes about 4 hours. From Perth, it's somewhat longer and some travellers like to take a stopover in Sydney.
Remember that Norfolk is not a Territory of Australia, but simply a territory under its control, so flights leave from the International Terminal.
Getting To Norfolk By Sea
