Happy New Year Everyone,
This week we're flying between two of the most fun airports in the Southern Hemisphere: Wellington and Queenstown. With Queenstown being a small airport, it's always fun to see how many movements we can get in and out and gives pilots a chance to refamiliarize themselves with how to perform a hold.
Controllers can take their pick of any position they're rated to staff with preference for Wellington and Queenstown sectors.
The goal is to get as much movement between these two airports in the event. Don't let the controllers get bored.
