Monarch 757 at Auckland today (7th March)

[happytraveller]

I was waiting at AKL for the 1540 down to Christchurch when this Monarch 757 (British registered) arrived and taxied past. Apparently, it is quite and old aircraft, made in 1988. Not often that you see a 757 down this way either.



smooth landings.

Unless its a RNZAF one..but yes very rare for a civilian one. Its on a round the world flight and was here on a tech stop

I am pretty sure there is a DHL 757 that does a daily freight run from Australia to NZ
