  • Wellington Airport at it's best... gusty northwesters up to 60knots were the best show in town on Friday January 13th 2012. Note: The AirNZ 73 retunred to AKL and how stable are those A320s!

    One time I was flying back into Welly, super windy night..
    The couple beside me, middle aged Canadians, never been to Wellington before, the wife was beside me (in a 3 seat combination on an A330)
    They hadnt spoken a word to me the whole flight (3 hrs), night flight from sydney
    The woman beside me on approach grabbed my hand. was so nice, but i whispered in her ear that this is Wellington, its quite often like this and that the best reason to fly AirNZ is because they are experts at this

      @@vikkimcdonough6153 Beaurocracy and incompetence are the reason, Vikki. The idea of an extension was first brought up over 70 years ago and then for 60 years, the argument amongst all the affected groups was whether to extend to the north or south [extending it to the south was going to cost about 3 times more]. In the interim, the cost of extending to either direction has escalated one hundred-fold and it wasn’t until about 10 years ago that the pilots input was actually taken notice of being…. It can’t be extended to the north because of the hills that must be cleared when approaching from the north would mean having to descend at too steep a gradient to land safely on the new extension. So now that’s finally been recognised, now the cost of the extension blows-out any cost/benefit of having the extension in the first place. LOL

And the cockpit windows on the a320 are diagonally facing downwards at the front, while the 737 is completely flat. Hope that helped.
