This afternoon, the Kāpiti Coast District Council voted to support the airline.
Air New Zealand stopped flying the route in early April.
The council had already agreed to put $150,000 towards marketing the route.
Kāpiti Coast mayor K Gurunathan said he could not yet say how much more the council was willing to spend.
Mr Gurunathan said a decision would be made over the next few weeks.
