Yes, even I’ll be the first to admit, over the last year or so we have definitely had our fair share of private jets arriving in little ole Nelson town.
Actually there is a reason for that, because according to the airports website;
Nelson Airport has restricted International Airport status. This was obtained in 2006 in particular to facilitate small private jets.
However some of what I have seen this year ….well I suggest to you would not be classified as “small” private jets.
Take this above October arrival for example.
With anon passengers…..
However the reason why I am calling plane spotters to help out tonight..
…is because of this very large private jet….that arrived at Nelson Airport tonight.
Looks bigger than many I have seen here before – any one have a clue???
Hi I was at the airport dropping people off on the 21st when it landed so saw the thing landing etc. I also got some photos from the viewing deck.
its code is VH-OCV. however I did not manage to see them offload the passengers as they go all the way down to the old origin terminal and I can’t imagine people rich enough to be in one of these would be kept waiting.
