Airbus A320 ZK-OJQ enters service

As part of the Canterbury earthquake relief effort, Air New Zealand pressed recently delivered Airbus A320 ZK-OJQ into commercial service three days earlier than planned.  The aircraft arrived on the evening of 25 February and flew its first flight as NZ6761 from Auckland to Christchurch the following afternoon.  This ended up being a positioning flight so its first sector with passengers was as NZ6762 from Christchurch to Wellington.  It then headed back to Christchurch before returning north to Auckland as NZ6764.
