On SBS this morning was 5A-ONE A340 of Afriqiyah Airways.

Logged around 5am looks like it was heading to NZ.

Started of at FL330 then FL370 on a heading of 120 degr.

Cheers Grahame

Will check the Auckland SBS/Acars tonight.

I think this a/c has a VIP setup so interesting to find out what its all about.

Maybe our Kiwi colleagues can enlighten us.

Arrived at CHC around 9:30 this morning. They carried on to ZQN about an hour later on a chartered Air Nelson Q300.

Definately did come into CHC yesterday morning was heading to work at Timaru and noticed something very different to the usual SQ 777 I always seem to see. Had been wondering it what it was and now I know ! :D Thanks
