It’s been a hot minute since my last spotting (2 years!), so here’s a little collection of some movements down under at the windiest airport in the world, Wellington!
One of the highlights for local spotters, Qantas’ new A220 fleet has been deployed on the Brisbane-Wellington sector on the first international route for the type.
Probably one of the most unique catches, Air NZ’s demonstrator electric aircraft, the BETA Alia, spent a few months running trials in WLG.
A widebody movement is always special for an airport with A321s as the largest scheduled flights.
One of the local NEOs getting airborne with some classic Wellington scenery.
Another new face at the airport, Jetstar’s newly delivered A320neo’s sporting the new livery.
An interesting month with the Luftwaffe conducting exercises across the country, which saw numerous A321 and A400M movements at the airport.
Firm crosswind touchdown for the RNZAF 757, not sure how much longer these will be around with the replacements soon to come (A321XLRs)
One of the regional workhorses arriving back from Hamilton.
