It appears there might be a misunderstanding regarding the ICAO code "NSZ." The ICAO code NSZ is currently assigned to Norwegian Air Sweden AOC AB, a Swedish low-cost airline based in Stockholm, Sweden.
However, based on the name "New Zealand Air Link," it is highly probable you are referring to Air New Zealand Link, which was a brand name for regional services operated by Air New Zealand's subsidiary regional airlines in New Zealand. Air New Zealand Link ceased operations on December 9, 2019, when its regional airlines were integrated into the parent company, Air New Zealand. The ICAO codes associated with its former operating subsidiaries included RLK for Air Nelson, NZM for Mount Cook Airline, and EAG for Eagle Airways, while Air New Zealand itself uses ANZ (and NZ for IATA).
The following information pertains to Air New Zealand Link as a historical regional brand and, where noted, to its parent company Air New Zealand for current traveler sentiment and safety.
Air New Zealand Link was a regional airline brand established in 1991 to cover the regional services of three airlines in which Air New Zealand had acquired interests: Eagle Airways, Mount Cook Airline, and Air Nelson. This brand was created when Air New Zealand found it unviable to operate its own regional services due to new competition. The regional airlines primarily connected smaller centers with New Zealand's three main international airports: Auckland Airport, Wellington International Airport, and Christchurch International Airport. Air New Zealand Link officially ceased operations on December 9, 2019, as its constituent airlines were merged into Air New Zealand.
At the time of its operations, the Air New Zealand Link carriers collectively operated a fleet that included ATR 72-500, ATR 72-600, and De Havilland Canada Dash 8 Q300 aircraft. Earlier in its history, Air Nelson also operated Saab 340 aircraft, and Eagle Airways operated Beechcraft B1900D aircraft. The brand's route network focused exclusively on domestic regional flights within New Zealand, serving approximately 20 destinations. As an affiliate through its parent company, Air New Zealand Link was associated with Star Alliance from 1999 until its cessation. Notable services included connecting regional centers to the main hubs, facilitating seamless travel across the country for Air New Zealand passengers.
