Auckland International 29-5-2019

Last week I headed off to Wellington again.  I have the trip down to a nice schedule now and after arriving around noon on the 380 bus I have time to catch the action before my flight leaves at around 3 pm.  This gives plenty of time to head up to the carpark building near the domestic terminal to see what comes and goes, and here is a selection of those comings and goings over a 25 minute period in the early afternoon:  (These are not in time order and there were 14 movements over the 25 minute period).

Of most interest to me was the arrival of Air New Zealand's latest Airbus A 321 NEO ZK-NNE2 (c/n 8799) which was registered on 1/5/19.  Note the bigger engines.

Rolling out.

Air New Zealand's domestic Airbus A 320 ZK-OXE on take off.  If you waited around for a day I reckon you could see just about all of their domestic fleet come and go.

Also on the domestic front, Jetstar's bright A 320 VH-VGF arrived.

Rolling Out.

And Jetstar's regular colour scheme VH-VGA took off for points South.

A couple of Fiji Airways Boeing 737-800s departed - DQ-FJM

And DQ-FJG.

A stranger was Malindo Air's Boeing 737-800 9M-LNW (Malaysian registered) which I understand is being operated by Samoa Airways while their own 737 MAX 9 is grounded

Thai Airways Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner HS-TWB departed for Bangkok.  After the succession of Airbus A 320s and Boeing 737s, it is noticeably much bigger.

There were several Qantas movements including this Boeing 737-800 VH-VYZ,

And their Airbus A 330 VH-EBN,

Rolling out.

And finally Boeing 737-800 VH-VZQ departed.

Then it was time to check in.
