Air New Zealand's more recently delivered Airbus NEO, 320 series ZK-NHA, made its debut on the carrier's domestic network 22 March 2019 as it was employed to cover for other A320 adhoc maintenance and provide additional capacity due to high demand for seats in/out of Christchurch.
The 165 seat airliner had a busy day starting out of Christchurch with a flight to Auckland as NZ522, then back to Christchurch as NZ527. It then flew another Christchurch-Auckland-Christchurch round trip as NZ538/1223. Its day was still not done with it flying a Christchurch-Wellington-Christchurch round trip as NZ1226/1227. It then flew its planned NZ883 service from Christchurch to Sydney where it overnighted.
Thanks to Michael Lanzensberger for these great shots of ZK-NHA on its first visit to Wellington.
