Query live public New Zealand airport arrivals and departures data for supported airports through a lightweight read-only CLI. Use when the task involves current flight board data for Auckland, Christchurch, Queenstown, or Wellington airports, or live ADS-B aircraft positions near Auckland Airport.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# NZ Airports

## Goal

Query live arrivals and departures data for supported New Zealand airports through a small deterministic CLI with human-readable and JSON output, without browser automation or account login.

AKL, CHC, ZQN, and WLG use airport/airline-published FIDS-style boards with scheduled and estimated times. AKL also keeps an optional adsb.lol live ADS-B aircraft-position view via `--source adsb`.

## Use this when

- A user asks for current arrivals or departures at a supported NZ airport
- A user wants to look up a flight number on a supported airport flight board
- A user needs lightweight machine-readable NZ airport FIDS-style data, or current aircraft-position data near AKL
- A workflow needs a fast read-only alternative to opening airport flight-board pages

## Do not use this for

- Booking, check-in, ticketing, PNR, passenger, baggage ownership, or account actions
- Aviation tracking outside the supported airport surfaces and AKL local ADS-B view
- Historical flight status or delay analysis
- Airports not listed by the `airports` command

## Preferred workflow

1. Run `scripts/cli.py` with the narrowest subcommand that answers the task

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add thecolab-ai/.skills/nz-airports@sha256:9def9166314e9302

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260719.1748a98, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
