Coastair prepares to fly the Tasman

Wayne Grant captured Coastair's Cessna 404 Titan at Ardmore this afternoon as it prepares to leave New Zealand for Australia. In 2009 Coastair ran a short-lived air service between Christchurch, Greymouth and Westport using the Cessna Titan which was registered ZK-NDY. The service met its death knell when Air New Zealand introduced its own short-lived service between Christchurch and Westport. The Titan has been reregistered VH-ZUI
