Amazing 747 Jumbo Jet flying low level at Christchurch Airport

Air New Zealand Boeing 747-400 [ZK-SUH] preforming touch & go landings at Christchurch International Airport, New Zealand. The plane was being used by Japanese pilots from ANA over a period of about 10 days. This is one of only two remaining 747's in the ANZ fleet, they are being replaced by the 787-800 in 2014/15.

The most gorgeous aircraft touch and go in my favourite town, gold footage.

That's fantastic! I had no idea ANA were using ANZ 747s for training at that time. By then, ANA only had the 747-400D in service for just 1 more year. I guess the -400Ds were very busy to take one out of service for training I suppose. This is awesome I love both airlines!

My favourite aircraft to operate on as cabin crew. I do miss the 744!

It's going to be so sad to see the 747 leave the Air New Zealand. By the way, the 747s are already being replaced by the 777-300ER's

Air New Zealand has now sold off ALL their "Queens of the Skies" Some were broken up and scrapped in the Arizona desert, a couple found new lives with freight airlines

[@ASJEAviationHQ]

Not often at all unfortunately.

[@robharris5467]

This (I assume) was part of conversion and not airport familiarisation.

[@gattermaierm]

[@MGAviationNZAircraftVideos]

They don't anymore

[@vickimgarlick172]

M att Singapore airlines freight 747 comes in occasionally but not very often I think once weekly!!! I think it leaves early morning.

I didn’t know NewZealand had jumbo jets.

[@wezleyrao3378]

[@thetoiletinspector6878]

Air New Zealand had 747-200's powered by RR engines in the early 1980's replacing the DC-10-30's and then 747-400's in the 1990's also with RR and GE engines.

[@Kingi069]

Mark Corry oh ok

[@Kingi069]

Ho thinks air newzealand should make a a380

[@dwarfbeans]

They buy the a380, that don't make it mate
