11–17 June 2024

The Australia Live Tour was another major milestone for Nony Flights NZ with a week of cross-country flying, long-form streaming, and community connection that pushed the channel to new heights.

It featured 40 hours of livestreaming, 7 flights, and countless memorable moments such as back-to-back Sydney streams reaching as long as 12-hours with runway 25 ops, to my first visit to Perth, all planned to maximise variety and viewer enjoyment.  Despite a slow start to the short tour, we finished with very strong viewership and grew the community along the way.

While the numbers may have been lower than the Australasia Live Tour, the community impact was stronger than ever.  Viewers stuck around for full 12-hour sessions, tuned in from multiple continents, and kept the chat alive hour after hour, and that’s what matters most.

This tour helped solidify what’s possible and set the stage for something even bigger: The Transatlantic Live Tour.
