From the article:

Air New Zealand has inked a deal for 14 new Airbus planes, worth $1.6 billion, to fly its trans-Tasman routes.
The order, which is for 13 Airbus A320neo (new engine option) and larger A321neo planes, and an additional A320, will keep the airline competitive flying across the Tasman and around the Pacific, CEO Christopher Luxon said.

No disclosure how many as replacement and how many for growth.

A few A321s there too.

You'll also notice the possibility of a J cabin on the A321's

The A321neo has an extra 38 seats which allowed for a business class cabin and Luxon said that was a possibility on routes from Auckland to Sydney or Melbourne.

Yes but they are only ordering 3 A321neo's well that might work actually!

I'd happily fly NZ if they had a real J on their A320's

Until then I'll take QF/EK
