Google Jet Spotted At Christchurch Airport, New Zealand

Dec 29, 2006 at 9:02am ET by Barry Schwartz

Stuff.co.nz reports that the Google Jet was reportedly spotted at Christchurch airport in New Zealand yesterday afternoon, complete with a nice picture of the plane.

They do not know who was on the plane owned by Google’s founders. Reportedly, the plane’s tail number was blocked out so that it cannot be tracked by the public via internet tracking sites. No official statement from Google has been made to confirm this news.

Very interesting. Of not is the fact that Eurekster is based in Christchurch. They have been one of the pioneers in developing vertical search platforms, and their Chief Scientist, told me when we interviewed him that they were doing more than 500,000 searches per day.

Of course, there are other technology oriented companies in New Zealand, but this is the one search related one that I know about.

As far as I know Google weren’t talking to Grant at Eurekster. We were on holiday together over that time. More details here .
