Good Evening from "Middle Earth"

Crossed the Tasman yesterday from SYD to AKL than CHC where I am enjoying Speights Beer and Kiwi hospitality but I digress.

While waiting for the the flight to CHC in the space of a hour and a half our "friends" from the sandbox had two B-777's inbound to AKL and a A-380.

On arrival in CHC there was a B-777 from Emirates as well. In both cases it is daily service so I have been told.

New Zealand is just a little over 4 million in population and Christchurch is around 380,000 in population.

With such uplift capability what will happen to the local carriers in New Zealand read Air New Zealand. It seems the locust's are cleaning out the wheat in this part of the world so the question that begs to be asked do we want this in Canada?
