Join us Tonight in your favorite freighter aircraft, big or small as we transport Aotearoa's freight around the country, touching down at Palmerston North, Christchurch and Auckland during Freight Run.
So load up your holds and fly from Auckland to Palmerston North or to Christchurch where the aim is to get as many freight aircraft in the air as possible.
The most popular tail you will see is from ParcelAir's fleet of 737-400F Freighter aircaft that fly every night to deliver freight around the country, so join us for this mid month event as we set off into the night skies.
