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.

| It wasn't a particularly nice day to day at Paraparaumu but the sun was out was to photograph air2there's Cessna 208 Grand Caravan which had just arrived from Nelson. |

| Down the line was their Piper PA34 Seneca ZK-WIW... I'm not sure whether this is used on the service or not. The Navajo and Chietain were nowhere to be seen |
Hahaha Barrier Air door coming open on their piper chieftain. Article on NZ Herald
ReplyDeleteWhat an odd SOH!!
DeleteAir 2 there should go for a PPQ to CHC service enough demand to fill a Caravan easily.
ReplyDeleteI very much doubt that. PPQ CHC has some very high Minimum Safe Altitudes requiring the Caravan to fly a long way out to sea. It is also one of the most violent stretches of airspace along the Kaikoura coast line for an aircraft limited to 10,000 feet.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it would be more easily performed with the Piper PA34. What type of aircraft did Associated Air use when it did the route?
DeleteStarted with a Piper Aztec and then progressed to a Cessna 402/421 - see http://3rdlevelnz.blogspot.co.nz/2010/05/associated-air-paraparaumus-friendly.html
