Dominion Airways was formed at Wellington in late 1929 to begin flying between the nation’s North and South Islands via Cook Strait. It did not start, however, by the end of 1930 sufficient capital has been raised to purchase a Desoutter and begin flights from Hastings to Gisborne. Approximately 100 flights are made before the Desoutter crashes at Wairoa on 08Feb1931; although no one is killed, the plane was written off. There being no money to purchase a replacement aircraft, the company ceased operations
