Arriving in Christchurch mid afternoon 16 January direct from its Port Vila home was Air Vanuatu's ATR72-500 YJ-AV72. Operating as AVN5000 the regional turbo-prop is presumably in New Zealand for maintenance having spent just under a month there in early 2011. Subsequent maintenance visits were conducted in Singapore with the aircraft visiting in November/December 2012 and February until April 2015.
