Ohakea

Rongatai

Ohakea is not approved for QF B744's but is for Air NZ which is why QF aircraft have to divert to Nandi or Noumea if AKL weather is below Alternate Criteria and CHC is not suitable. The Air NZ aircraft have the ability to proceed to AKL and shoot an approach - most times getting in, but on occasions diverting to Ohakea. It gives Air NZ a significant commercial advantage. GB
