This blog started off by focussing on NZ's smaller 3rd level airlines, past and present. It has evolved to trying to present some record of NZ's domestic airline operations and some of the larger charter operators, interesting NZ international airliner movements and photos I have taken around the country.

Do the former Pacific Blue aircraft still carry the New Zealand regos...?
ReplyDeleteSure do... ZK-PBx series
ReplyDeleteCheers for that. I was at Auckland airport last Wednesday for the first time in almost a year and just noticed one with VH-markings and was wondering if they had re registered them during the re paint.. So being rebranded as VA are they still similar to Jetconnect and how Pacific Blue was with the NZ registered aircraft in being based in NZ or a kiwi office of some sort..?
ReplyDeleteAnd mate!!! this website is saved into my phone and I check it religiously every day, during work first thing in the morning and all the time... Catching up on the all so important updates of what's going on, on the NZ aviation scene. So much is missed on the aviation net forum in the NZ thread and I have been following the Masterton saga like nothing and been looking forward to what the final outcome was... Glad for Vincent although would be good to see Air Chathams taking a leap into the unknown and ply their trade on the mainland.. Shame though those aircraft are white.. Be cool to see the two tone green return to the 580 and the metro add some colour to the invading black and white army of Air NZ haha. Keep up this amazing work mate!! Drop in if your ever in Taupo
