Services Provided To Norfolk Island
Norfolk Island's Norfolk Jet Express and Norfolk Air have chartered Air Nauru to fly its services Norfolk Island to Brisbane, Newcastle, Melbourne, and Sydney. Norfolk Jet Express went out of business on 4 June 2005 and ceased using Air Nauru's services. Norfolk would soon get a government operated airline, called Norfolk Air, but with no planes of its own, Qantas would then operate the flights from 11 June 2005 using Air Nauru's Boeing 737 VH-RON . . This arrangement naturally ceased later that year when VH-RON was seized, due to Air Nauru's own financial problems. Other airlines filled the gap for Norfolk Air, but Air Nauru again started providing aircraft for Norfolk Air flights in April 2009. The Norfolk government is shutting down Norfolk Air in March 2012, with an agreement that Air New Zealand will take over similar Norfolk Island flights, operating in its own name.

—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“I candidly confess that I have ever looked on Cuba as the most interesting addition which could ever be made to our system of States. The control which, with Florida, this island would give us over the Gulf of Mexico, and the countries and isthmus bordering on it, as well as all those whose waters flow into it, would fill up the measure of our political well-being.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
