Air New Zealand is axing its flights to Kapiti Coast from next month.

The last service will operate on April 3.

"Air New Zealand has operated the Kapiti – Auckland service since 2011 and recognises the support the community has given to it," it said in a statement.

"On withdrawal, Air New Zealand will extend support to any other airline that operates the route as it has in other ports."
