ACADEMY BLESSES, NAMES NEW AIRCRAFTThe New Zealand Airline Academy celebrated the arrival of two new aircraft at Oamaru Airport on Monday. The two Tecnam P2008 aircraft, each worth about $400,000, were blessed and given Maori names at a special ceremony, attended by pastors Eugen Dupu, Damien Goodsir and Norm MacLeod, Waitaki Mayor Gary Kircher and New Zealand Airline Academy students and staff. Mr Kircher suggested the two new aircraft were given Maori names and, at Monday’s event, one was dubbed Te Waka Whakatairanga, which meant elevation, to be lifted higher or promotion. The second was called Te Waka Rongopai, which translated to “you hear its sound long before it arrives and also, word of (the company) travels everywhere and it is always good”, Mr Kircher said...... www.oamarumail.co.nz/community/academy-blesses-names-new-aircraft/
