Wamos means "Let's Go" in Spanish

Operating Air New Zealand's Auckland-Perth flights over the summer is Spanish airline Wamos Air's Airbus A330-243 EC-NCK. I caught its departure from a damp Auckland on 18 December 2022.






A full background on the Airbus was published on Stuff on the 20th of October. The chartered plane and its crew are operating the Perth flights from the 15th of November to the 17th of February 2023. Wamos Air operates mainly leisure charter flights, but also leases out planes and crew, and the aircraft being used here is a A330-200. Air New Zealand General Manager Short Haul, Jeremy O’Brien, told Executive Traveller that the leasing is a “buffer against those unforeseen circumstances by freeing up an aircraft that can be brought in at short notice. It builds resilience into the network so that should things happen, we're able to recover really quickly.”

  3. Check out this thread... https://www.airliners.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=582055 In particular, "Vamos may be the correct way to spell it, but in Spain its pronounced wamos." I understand this is especially true in Madrid. Vamos can also be pronounced Bamos... The sense is either, "we go" or "let's go".

    1. Wasn't sure why someone wanted to try be like that - It's an Aviation Thread, not a Spelling/Translation thread LOL
