So I saw Glenorchy Air is starting a new charter service called Queenstown Air Charter in 2026. They're going to use the Tecnam P2012, which is apparently getting its first run in New Zealand with them. Pretty neat that they're the launch customer for this aircraft in the country.
The P2012 is still in production, but it's supposed to be certified by March 2026 by New Zealand's aviation authority. I'm curious how this plane will perform in the charter market. Anyone know much about the Tecnam P2012? I've read a bit about it, and it seems like a solid choice for short-haul flights.
Also, how do you guys feel about more charter options out of Queenstown? With the scenery around there, it seems like a great spot for charter flights. Do you think there'll be enough demand to keep this sustainable? Or is it more about having a unique experience for tourists? Would love to hear your thoughts!
