Close to rarity

As most of you will know, Air New Zealand is in the process of shutting down a subsidiary, Eagle Airways, and disposing of it's fleet of Raytheon B1900D aircraft.

Over the next year, these B1900D's will become a rarity [and I expect followed by extinction] on the New Zealand aircraft register. This will of course be pre-dated by Air NZ ridding itself of all Boeing 737's in it's fleet, with the last B737 passenger flight to take place later this month.

Anyway, here are photos of two B1900D's - ZK-EAC and ZK-EAN.

    Last scheduled B737 flights are tomorrow, followed by a tour for the ANZ staff. I will be sad to see them go.

    If I remember correctly....the final landing @ WLG after the final flight today between Auckland and Christchurch is on September 16th on the staff farewell tour.

    You are both correct :-) I will probably have photos of the B737 departure update late today.
