Skytrader's Airbus A319CJ VH-VHD arrived at Auckland mid morning
08 December from Perth as "Snowbird One" carrying NZ deportees from the Christmas Island detention centre. This is the third flight carrying such passengers with the first flown by A319CJ VH-VCJ followed by Boeing 737-300 VH-NLK.
VH-VHD was soon on her way home to Melbourne after just over one hour on the ground at Auckland. The jet didn't stay still for long as it continued to Hobart where it overnighted before conducting a return trip to Wilkins Field and back 09 December.
