NZ 7 24/11

NZ 7 seems to be bouncing around the pacific.

SFO diversion to HNL, then an hour later onward to Nadi.

I am assuming not enough hours for crew to get home so positioned new Crew in Nadi as only on ground there for a couple of hours as well before onwards to AKL.

I'm just been nosey, but any ideas what went on?

Apparently medical in HNL, then maxed crew hours by NAN.

I was the same, curious too, was tracking NZ3 last night to pick someone up this morning and noticed NZ7's diversion.

Thanks for satisfying my curiosity.

I saw on 3news a Chch woman who had a car accident was flown back to Chch today via commercial flight as she had no travel insurance. Wonder if it was related to her?

Wouldn't they have just put her on the NZ/HA HNL-AKL flight? surely NZ would charge in the $100,000 plus to divert for this?

Ahh no I probably didn't make that clear. She originated in SFO.

Just out of interest anyone know what flights have been happening between ROK and SIN?

looks like a 777 and 763 have been flying between both ports

Likely Singapore military charters.

nzsource identifies them as military charters. These happen fairly routinely, maybe 3-4 times per year.

Air NZ clearly pitched a good price for the work!
