Air New Zealand Link Test Flights to Paraparaumu


The first Air New Zealand test flight has landed at Kapiti Coast Airport, ahead of a new service between Paraparaumu and Auckland. A Bombardier Q300, flown by Air NZ subsidiary Air Nelson, flew into the airport yesterday (2 August 2011) to run through working procedures. This is after a $3 million upgrade of the runway. The service, involving 18 return flights a week to Auckland, is to due start in October.
