It has to be a bit different for a visiting business jet to be featured on our national news, but such is the case with the Challenger 605 TC-RSA which has been at Dunedin for the last few days, and Stuff even had a nice photo of it:
TC-RSA (a Bombardier CL-600 2B16 Challenger c/n 5857) is operated by Redstar Aviation out of Instanbul in Turkey. According to the Stuff article it left London on October 13 flying six hours to Dubai then carried on to Kuala Lumpur in another 7 hours flying time. From KL it flew 4 and a half hours to Darwin and after a break it flew direct to Dunedin in another 6 hours, arriving there the morning of 14 October according to Flightradar24. That is pretty good going for nearly 24 hours of flying!
Anyway, thanks to Alan Granville of Stuff for an interesting aircraft article.
