The Brazilian-made jet is owned by Australian safety equipment supplier Special Mining Services based in Glenorie, New South Wales. Queenstown Airport safety and operations general manager Mike Clay said that three of the five flights occurred soon after the imposition of Level 4 lockdown last March. The pilot, passenger and ground staff were wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) and maintained at least 4m distance from each other, she said.
