Air Nelson Q300 ZK-NEM re-enters service AND ZK-NEC heads offshore

Air Nelson's Bombardier Q300 ZK-NEM was immediately returned to passenger service the day after it arrived back in the country post repaint to the somewhat distinctive Air New Zealand black livery. 

Its first flight was NZ8306 Nelson to Wellington 28 September and it was captured by Terry Hodges as it departed the airline's home town. It then flew the following sectors:
NZ8315 Wellington-Nelson
NZ8310 Nelson-Wellington
NZ8820 Wellington-Hamilton
NZ8247 Hamilton-Palmerston North-Wellington
NZ8248 Wellington-Palmerston North-Hamilton

Over the next few days ZK-NEM is expected to visit a Woodbourne, Napier, Tauranga, Gisborne and Auckland for the first time in its distinctive colour scheme. 






As this post goes to air, Air Nelson Q300 ZK-NEC should have departed Auckland for Norfolk Island, Brisbane and Townsville as SXI1732, the delivery flight to paintshop Flying Colours being conducted by globally recognised ferry company Southern Cross International.
