“As President of the New Zealand Air Line Pilots' Association I welcome you to the EREBUS STORY  - the story of the loss of flight TE901 in the Antarctic. This site is dedicated to those lost to Erebus; our goal for this site is to ensure that the memories of those who perished are never forgotten. We have not set out to apportion blame but to show that even in the most tragic of accidents the lessons learnt eventually lead to improvements in air safety". 

Captain Mark Rammell, President, NZALPA
