Aircraft selection and estimated flight times
Aircraft selection: The five aircraft models displayed for each route are the most frequently used on that route in the flight records. Flights across the cities’ main airports are combined when selecting them.
Estimated flight times: Flight times are calculated estimates based on route distance, aircraft performance and recorded durations for the same aircraft model or comparable flights. Times are rounded to the nearest 5 minutes and may vary with routing and operating conditions. Flight-time calibration uses records from 2020 through October 2026.
Flight activity: sources and methodology
Activity methodology: LunaJets filters and enriches the recorded flights by matching them to airports, cities and aircraft categories, then aggregating them. Figures cover 1 January to 31 December 2025. The figures include private and business jets, VIP aircraft and turboprops. Helicopters and scheduled airline flights are excluded. The data was generated on 14 October 2026. This generation date is separate from the activity year.
Definitions: A private aviation movement is one recorded departure or arrival at an airport serving a city. A flight between Wellington and another city counts once in Wellington’s route total, whether arriving or departing. A return flight counts as a separate movement. A connected city is a distinct city with at least one qualifying private aviation flight to or from Wellington during 2025. The connected-city count covers the routes included in this dataset, not just those displayed in the table.
Busiest periods: Busiest periods identify a significant seasonal concentration in recorded movements in both directions during 2025. Isolated spikes are filtered out. Year-round means no qualifying seasonal concentration was identified, although activity can vary between months. A classification requires at least 30 annual movements, 99% statistical significance and an average monthly activity rate at least 1.75 times the rest of the year. Single-month periods also require recurrence checks using January to August 2026 records.
