Freight Run Friday

Join us Tonight in your favorite freighter aircraft, big or small as we transport everyone's online bargains around the country under the cloak of darkness. Touching down at Palmerston North, Christchurch and Auckland these aircraft buzz around into the early hours of the next morning, so that when you wake up your package is at the door. 

Fly from Auckland to Palmerston North or to Christchurch where the aim is to get as many freight aircraft in the air as possible.

The most popular tail you will see is from ParcelAir's fleet of 737-400F Freighter aircaft that fly every night to deliver freight around the country, so join us this friday as we set off into the night skies.
