The Airport Fekau

When Covid-19 caused lockdown in March 2020, there were a lot of changes that we all had to adjust to. The border for Niue was highly restricted, flights to Niue were reduced and highly restricted and families were cut off from one another. The opportunity to get goods from New Zealand to Niue became more difficult, and we have done our best to help everyone.

One of the issues that we were trying to help with was the airport fekau - when a small package is brought to the airport for family or friends to carry to Niue on a flight. Usually with a small payment as a thank you. Restricted travel for family and friends meant restricted check-in and carry-on space.

We had an issue with the cost for these small items. So in an effort to help our customers as best as possible, we introduced the Knick Knack Box service. Basically, we created a “box” for all the little knick knacks (packages) to go into. Breaking up the cost for the “box” being shipped, the cost for a small package became more affordable.

This meant that we could send an airport fekau for our customers at a cost similar to the small “thank you” payment. The main reason for creating the Knick Knack Box service.

As we move forward and efforts to get Covid-19 under control improve the situation, we will continue this service indefinitely. As it will help our customers avoid traveling to the airport on plane day, and with our Courier Service we can even help with getting goods to our Knick Knack box when time and circumstance are inconvenient.

If you have any further queries with regards to this service, we are happy to help. Feel free to contact us. Monuina e aho.
