Upper Hutt pilot ends career with a flight to Wuhan

Reporter Community News

​When Upper Hutt pilot Mark Rammell flew the only New Zealand flight into the epicentre of the coronavirus pandemic, he had no idea that same virus would end his four-decade career as a pilot.
In February, he joined the flight crew of an Air New Zealand Boeing 777 in Hong Kong – bound for Wuhan. They were tasked with bringing Kiwis home on the only evacuation flight from the city.
The pandemic led to Air New Zealand parking up most of its planes and Rammell made the tough decision to retire.
Rammel traded in his jet-setting life for a more settled existence, running a function centre and gardens he owns with his wife in Kaitoke.
