Air Chatham Charters a flight to Chatham Islands from Tauranga

Veteran Air Chatham,s General Dynamics Convair 440/580 ZK-CIB arrived into Tauranga from Auckland around 13.30 pm on the 21st February to pick up fellow passengers inbound to the Chatham Islands ,which is a rare occasion here as normally Rotorua serves as a hub for the BOP,but I am not complaining on the outcome.
The Chatham Islands form an archipelago in the Pacific Ocean about 680 kilometres (423 mi) southeast of the South Islands mainland New Zealand. It consists of about ten islands within a 40-kilometre (25 mi) radius, the largest of which are Chatham Island and Pitt Island
