Kiwi Bizjet
Saw on the news tonight that Peter Jackson, Director of the The Lord of the Rings trilogy is a part owner in a Gulfstream G-IV bizjet recently added to the NZ aircraft register.
Rego is ZK-KFB and listed as operated by Air National Ltd probably based in Auckland.
This is the 4th bizjet to arrive on the NZ aviation scene in recent months and the 3rd that I know of with intentions to be available for charter.
Can NZ support bizjets such as these? Is there a market that has not been using the common piston twin operators but waiting for quality jet aircraft to become available??
I think there is the Cessna CJ1 based in CHCH, Dennis Thompsons US Registered Citation 500 (?) and a Lear 35 (not sure where it is) in country already, how are these aircraft going in terms of being chartered??
Cheers
