because Garuda offered complimentry fares to Auckland from other centres.This wasn't profitable so eventually NZ flights stopped in Brisbane - that's when we stopped using it as it became 2 stops. They can't afford to offer free feeder flights now because of the new price structure of the no frills mob so any new service will have to stand from the Auckland catchment alone and they will have to stand the costs of reopening an Auckland office. It may happen but I wouldn't be holding your breath.
