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.

Changing Planes
Stolen from the Air Chathams Facebook page is this pic of Saab 340 ZK-KRA - Here is what Air Chat's wrote... "A sneak peak behind the doors at the Auckland hangar of our new Saab 340 airliner getting a makeover!"
Noted in Ardmore is Sunair's Piper Navajo ZK-JGA minus the Sunair titles
Barrier Air's Piper Chieftain ZK-VIP has returned to Dunedin and registered back to Enfield Holdings Ltd which operates as Mainland Air
With the Convair and the Saab, as well as the DC-3, is Air Chathams planning to create the best-looking turbo-prop fleet ever? Because they are going the right way about it :)
So much for there last flight on 30th July? After bit of research, KRL8 NSN-TRG on 26th July maybe last schedule service. Bye Bye Kiwi Regional Airlines! I think CVA have an open day at WAG on 31st July?

ReplyDeleteDon't forget the Metros...hard working as always and the Turbo Commander for the island's medivac service.
DeleteYes their fleet has now reached 12 aircraft.
DeleteYou mean 9?

ReplyDeleteAir Chats Metro is on the KRA runs at present.
ReplyDelete26 July last service using Saab 340 NSN-TRG?
DeleteYes, saw the Metro on the KRA run. great to see a Metro in HLZ again. A strong case for Chats to take over the HLZ-NSN run. Origin is looking as well.
ReplyDeleteHas the Metro been to HLZ??? Unfortunately I am out of town today and won't see last flight to Hamilton
DeleteCIC did the run the other day
DeleteI feel sorry for ZK-KRA (yes the plane). I hope air chats gives it a longer life
