Bay of Plenty Airways was a pioneering regional airline of the late 1950s and early 1960. The airline took over the expanding operations of Tauranga Air Services, which had commenced air services from Tauranga in Dec1956. Founded by Alfred W. ‘Alf’ Bartlett and supported financially by a number of Bay of Plenty investors, Tauranga Air Services Ltd, operated Cessna 182 and built up a regular air taxi service from Tauranga (both Tauranga Aerodrome and an airstrip at Tauriko), Whakatane and Opotiki to Auckland. A decision to suspend services and wind the company up was made at a Board Meeting in Dec1961
