Air New Zealand Airbus A320-232 ZK-OJE NZ823 ROT-&gt;SYD dep ROT for the final time.  Just prior to departure, all the ROT ground crew came out and were posing for 'team photos' at the foot of the steps; this seemed to be the only recognition that international flights from Rotorua are over.  We do however, have an extended, strengthened runway; just a case of what to do with it!
