It’s always nice to fly a widebody domestically and I was able to fly Christchurch Auckland coming out of lockdown last year. Best I can tell it is only once or twice a month and it’s on a flight number beginning with a 6xxx.
6xxx is non revenue.
Will be positioning for cargo flights. Have been direct CHC to China cargo flights for example.
Some of the North America flights are starting in CHC to pick up freight
