Description

Kia Ora Koutou, Join us this Summer as we travel around our two motu on a path around Aotearoa New Zealand! From November through to March, we will be flying around every Saturday afternoon, exploring the coastline and some major hubs around New Zealand, showing us what it has to offer. This week we will be flying from Christchurch to Wellington on our 3rd leg of the trip, with departures out of NZCH from 0600z and arrivals welcome into NZWN until 0830z. Christchurch, the Garden City. It's the largest hub in the South Island and home to New Zealand's Arctic adventures. Windy Wellington will be an exhilarating arrival in this event! Whether it's gusty conditions or the short runway, you won't be able to beat Wellington today! ATC will be focused on our event airports, but coverage will be available across the whole NZZC, so you're encouraged to fly all around our precious gem at the bottom of the Pacific.
