Corporate Corner Chaos

After a lull in activity for corporate jets there has been a marked increase these last 48 hours with movements here and there, and an influx of aircraft to Queenstown most likely associated with the visit of MY "Serene" apparently anchored in Milford Sound and now joined by its tender helicopter EC145 G-SRNE.
