With the recent entry into service of the type with launch customer All Nippon Airways, interest has intensified in our region with Air New Zealand, QANTAS & Jetstar eagerly awaiting deliver of their airframes.
On Friday, November 11th,  Dreamliner N787BA,  completed a 13 hour 40 minute transit from Seattle, crossing the Pacific and arriving into Auckland with Air New Zealand Chief Pilot Captain David Morgan and 30 Boeing test & evaluation staff aboard .  The aircraft made a low pass over the city before landing at AKL.
The aircraft will stay in New Zealand for a few days before heading across the Tasman to Sydney.
