The fog rolled in at CHC at 1035 and cleared by 1215 hours. There were several occasions when one jet landed but the second and third missed the approach while the fourth one landed. A few propellor aircraft missed and diverted as well. Major mahem for the airlines.<br />Cheers Paul DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15818418.post-2275691982049190422011-07-07T20:29:35.551+12:002011-07-07T20:29:35.551+12:00Air Pacific certainly have operated WLG-Fiji in th...Air Pacific certainly have operated WLG-Fiji in the past...used them to go to Nadi and back during April 2001.

A number of other flights were similarly affected.<br /><br />The aircraft continued to CH when the WX cleared and subsequently completed its schedule by returning (late) to NFFN.<br /><br />Cheers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15818418.post-7885467952538885602011-07-03T17:01:50.624+12:002011-07-03T17:01:50.624+12:00Looks like they operated the scheduled FJ451 (NAN-...Looks like they operated the scheduled FJ451 (NAN-CHC) via Wellington. Not sure though if it was a medical diversion or a scheduled stop due to concerns with potential ash/eqnz related issues.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17247197161081138988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15818418.post-24580961024834976872011-07-03T15:43:02.294+12:002011-07-03T15:43:02.294+12:00Thanks for the update Allister.Thanks for the update Allister.Rodneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15333107141651747690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15818418.post-12337169855909567502011-07-03T15:36:15.468+12:002011-07-03T15:36:15.468+12:00I felt sure I had snapped Air Pacific at Wellingto...I felt sure I had snapped Air Pacific at Wellington relatively recently, but a quick search proves otherwise.
