🚒✈️ BEHIND THE SCENES: WELLINGTON AIRPORT FIRE SERVICE ✈️🚒

Aviation Geek NZ was incredibly lucky to get an exclusive look inside the Wellington Airport Fire Service’s brand-new fire station!

We got to go for a ride in one of the impressive Panther fire appliances,and even witness a demonstration of the water cannon. 💦🔥

Chief Fire Officer Ben takes us behind the scenes, explaining what a typical shift involves, the role of the airport fire service, and what the new station brings to the team.

A massive thank you to the Wellington Airport Fire Service and Wellington Airport for giving us such amazing access and allowing us to showcase the incredible work these firefighters do to keep the airport and its passengers safe. 👨‍🚒✈️

So sit back, buckle up, and come with us inside the new Wellington Airport Fire Station! 🚒🔥

✈️ A cool view from Wellington Airport!

Last Thursday, we caught this Jetstar aircraft being pushed back towards the taxiway at Wellington Airport — and what a view from the second-floor windows! 👀✈️

It’s one of those spots where you could easily sit for hours watching aircraft come and go while enjoying a bite to eat. Wellington Airport has plenty of food and drink options around the terminal.
If you’re an aviation fan, it’s definitely worth keeping an eye out next time you’re at the airport! 🛫

✈️ BEHIND THE SCENES AT WELLINGTON AIRPORT! 🔥

Aviation Geek NZ was incredibly lucky to be given airside access to Wellington Airport’s runway, where we were taken behind the scenes by Head of Operations Matthew Palliser.

We got the chance to witness aircraft landing and taking off from up close, learn what goes on behind the scenes to keep the airport operating safely, and even witnessed an aircraft go around due to wind shear! 😮✈️

Matthew also gives us an insight into his role as Head of Operations and talks about one of Wellington Airport’s most famous challenges — Wellington’s notorious winds! 🌬️

A massive thank you to Phil Rennie, External Relations Manager at Wellington Airport, for organising such an incredible day and giving us amazing airside and behind-the-scenes access. We really appreciate the opportunity!

And we’re not finished yet… 👀

🔥 Stay tuned for another video next weekend, where we head inside Wellington Airport’s new Rescue Fire Station and chat with Chief Fire Officer Ben about the important work the airport’s emergency response team does.
