Air Vanuatu ATR72 at Christchurch

Air Vanuatu's sole ATR72-212 YJ-AV72 arrived at Christchurch on the morning of 14Feb from its home of Port Vila via a techstop at Noumea using the callsign "Air Van 2000".

The ATR is in town for a repaint with Air New Zealand.  Interestingly this machine was only delivered to Vanuatu in October 2009 arriving at Port Vila on the 13th of the month from Cairns still carrying the manufacturer's registration of F-WNUG.

No image of the aircraft at Christchurch, so thanks to http://www.superwombat.com/ for the attached:
