Jetstar A320 VH-VGF (aka The Jaffa Jet) flies over Christchurch at 36,000 feet on JQ279 Wellington to Queenstown service.

Jetstar is a wholly owned subsidiary of QANTAS, and flies internationally and domestically in Australia and New Zealand.  Their "international" fleet of A320 aircraft can arrive here on an international flight from Australia, do a few days of domestic flights in New Zealand and then head back to Australia.

They service just five locations in New Zealand (Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Dunedin and Queenstown).  Up until about three months ago they also operated Dash 8 aircraft on some regional routes, but pulled out due to economic reasons (Air New Zealand would under cut them on those routes, while profiteering on the ones Jetstar didn't operate on).

This is full frame on a Canon APS-C camera with a 600mm f/4 lens and a 1.4x TC to give a 35mm equivalent on 1344mm.

As I post this image the plane is down to 6,000 feet on approach to Queenstown.
