Air Nelson a subsidiary of Air New Zealand operates 23 Q300 aircraft on regional operations around New Zealand. Ordered in 2004 there were 15 options for Q400 aircraft but these were later dropped. This aircraft is key to Air New Zealand’s regional towns to Air New Zealand’s hubs.
The all blacks livery is beautiful on this aircraft and I would love this for regional flights all around New Zealand and would great for this to be added.
Routes operated
From Auckland to
Blenheim, Gisborne, Kapiti Coast, Kerikeri,[2] Nelson, New Plymouth, Palmerston North, Rotorua, Taupo, Tauranga, Whangarei
From Christchurch to

I’m not sure how tough it would be for devs to add this aircraft. But I’m guessing it may be as easy as the only main difference is it’s smaller the the the Q400.
It could be a mini rework from devs like when the devs added the 777-200LR?
This is a beautiful pick. I love seeing this girls in the domestic terminal at NZCH such a shame they no longer fly them from NZCH-NZPM because I used to love flying on them.
I’ve just started getting into doing a lot of flights within New Zealand in IF. Such amazing scenery NZ has to offer, some of the best scenery in IF is there, in my opinion. 😃
Would just love to see this in IF. Most flights in NZ not out of NZAA in real life are with this plane or the ATR 72-600. Most regional flights out of NZAA are with the already-added ANZ A320.
Adding this livery would attract so many more pilots to fly in NZ in IF, and this aircraft in general would suit many regional flights around the world, just like the Q400 and the CRJ series all do. 😃
personally im from nz and i love our livery it would be great to see more ALL Black AIRNZ livery in the game to which AIRNZ has in there fleet check this video out for a full view https://youtu.be/guSjDb_J9f8
