Do these airlines use "New Zealand" as their callsign the same as Air NZ does, or do they have their own individual callsign?

Eagle Air = 'Eagle'
Air Nelson = 'Link'
Mount Cook = 'Mount Cook' (Just 'Cook' if your slack or in a hurry :lol: )

Eagle Air= "Eagle - and lst 3 digits of callsign", e.g "Eagle 205"
Link= "Link - and last 3 digits of callsign", e.g "Link 565"
Mount Cook= "Mount Cook - and last 2 digits of callsign, except when ends in 01", e.g "Mount Cook 67, or with number ending 01, 02 etc", "Mount Cook 1, or 2"

Chris D, looks like you need to know Pythagorus' theory to work out the numbers!

I think 'Mt Cook' is NZM, but not too sure about the others.

Dunno, guess it is what was free. RLK might stand for regional link or something :huh: FYI, LNK is the code for South African Airlink :)
