Single achievement

Aotearoa 12 NZNS to NZWN

This is a virtual airline achievement created by Fliggity Air.

Nelson is the oldest city in the South Island and the second-oldest settled city in New Zealand – it was established in 1841 and became a city by royal charter in 1858. Nelson has one of the sunniest climates of all major New Zealand centres, earning the nickname 'Sunny Nelson' with an annual average total of over 2400 hours of sunshine. Nelson Airport, also known as Te Papa Waka Rererangi o Whakatu, is located 6km southwest of Nelson. It is the 6th busiest airport in New Zealand by passenger volume with the last statistics putting it over 1 million passengers a year. Constructed in 1937, the airport received restricted international airport status and it has handled international private jets since then.

Directions: Depart Nelson heading northward along the coast and the subsequent waterways through the islands along the northern tip of the South Island all the way to the lighthouse on Stephen’s Island. Come back south and follow the multitude of islands before crossing the Cook Strait to land at Wellington International Airport for a much-needed rest.
