On delivery to Air Chathams today was ex-Air New Zealand ATR-GIE ATR 72-212A ZK-MCU which is joining sister ship ZK-MCO. The ATR will be used on the Chatham Islands flights as well as on Tauck Tours which are being offered over the 2022-2023 summer.

Boeing 737 simulator being set up for them as well :) All go for 3C!
ReplyDeleteThey've owned the 737 simulator for about 3 years
DeleteCan someone enlighten me as to why Air Chatham's owns so many aircraft, yet operate so few flights. Whenever I pass their hanger at AKL I always see the metros, sf3 and sometimes the atr just sitting there. Kinda makes me wonder why they have such a large fleet?
ReplyDeleteA lot of their fleet were operating before COVID came through
