NEW New Zealand INFO FROM MY SOURCE
"Phil Keoghan and team arrived on what I think was the 2 May. I
personally saw him only the afternoon/evening of this day. However,
other staff members report they have seen the team also on this day.
Phil Keoghan flew out in the early hours of the next day (possibly 3rd
of May) - 5am ish. Flights leaving that early in the morning are usually
just flying to Australia.
Some airport security staff saw the rest of the team fly out in dribs
and drabs on the "3rd of May", with the last team leaving around 7pm ish
that evening."
"they left during the course of the day from around 12:30pm onwards - most took Emirates flights (of which there are 3 daily departures each day - all of which go thru Australia. One to Melbourne then Dubai, One to Sydney then Singapore, One to Brisbane, Bangkok. There was still one team here around 7pm waiting to fly out."
This is quite different from the earlier report and indicates that AR13 teams did tasks somehere on the North Island of New Zealand through late evening of May 2. After a pitstop, some teams were ready to depart for Singapore or Bankgkok, some direct and some through connection in Australia. The Timetables and Flight Information thread is mostly up-to-date on this.
