Night Shift

VATNZ Welcomes Pilots back to the NZZC airspace in 2022 with the return of our iconic Night Shift Event! Join us on Saturday at 7PM for our returning weekly event between Auckland and Christchurch.

Fly between the two main ports of New Zealand on Saturday as we staff the airspace covering Auckland, Christchurch and anywhere inbetween, A great way to relax after a long week... or weekend...

Break out your favorite airliner, new or old and zip up or down the country, and enjoy New Zealand's main trunk route.

Whatever you choose to fly our awesome team of controllers will staff up their favorite ATC positions and provide great Kiwi service around the country.
