WIAL notice - Aus-NZ flight schedule
WIAL have issued a notice advising us that the regular Aus-NZ flight schedule is about to resume as of Monday 23rd May. Below is an excerpt from their notice and a full copy is attached if you wish to view it:
As airlines have been able to put schedules back in place, we are once again preparing our international terminal for increasingly regular flights in and out of Australia. It’s wonderful to be able to welcome back our dear friends and whānau from across the ditch.
From Monday 23 May 2022, we anticipate a familiar schedule of flights departing for Australia from 6am and the last arrivals landing before the 1am curfew. As locals and neighbours we know you are used to this flight pattern, but as it has been some time, it may take us all a wee while to settle back into the normal pattern.
While the airport receives very few noise complaints, we are aware it has been a while since we have had a regular flight schedule and we appreciate it may take residents some time to readjust to international flights operating regularly again. We expect that as aircraft patterns settle back to a normal pattern, it will soon feel normal again for you too.

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
