Flights with Emirates’ new Airbus A350-900ULR variant, which can stay in the air up to 15 hours, will launch on the EK440/441 Adelaide-Dubai service from 1 December, or earlier if the first of the planes comes sooner.

The airport, New Zealand’s fourth busiest, will extend its terminal north by 800 square metres towards the airfield to provide new office space for Air New Zealand, Planebiz, and the Aviation Security Service, with the NZ$12 million project expected to be completed in 2027.

Capacity between Australia and Asia has hit its highest-ever levels, according to Flight Centre’s SME arm Corporate Traveller, with India at 346 per cent of pre-COVID figures, Vietnam at 263 per cent, and South Korea at 153 per cent.

Bland Shire Council received more than $167,670 from the NSW government to repair and upgrade the plane including site works at Lions Park, concreting, paint stripping and re-painting.
