Daniel De Bono is on a mission to get Trans-Tasman flights reinstated to Dunedin.
The Dunedin Airport chief executive has been in Australia talking with airport and airline representatives, and when asked if some of those talks were more advanced than others he was unequivocal.
"Very much so," he said on the phone to Stuff, shortly after touching down in Melbourne.
"I'm still really optimistic we're going to get this deal done."
