NZ orders more dreamliners

[markis10]

Air New Zealand chief executive Christopher Luxon has flagged capacity growth in the order of five to six per cent a year over the next five years as the airline adds a further two Boeing 787-9 aircraft to its existing order book.


The airline announced the order for two more Dreamliners, which are due for delivery in 2017 and 2018 and bring to 12 the number of 787s the airline has on firm order, on Monday.


“These are, we think the best aircraft in the world and we have been really pushing these really hard into our long-haul networks,” Luxon told guests at a National Aviation Press Club lunch in Sydney on Monday.

Air New Zealand bumps up fleet and looks at destinations in US, South America

I'd be Big Kev excited if ANZ started flying to Buenos Aires or Santiago sometime soon. Chicago would also be useful but less awesome.

NZ must be seeing the benefits of having new aircraft in the fleet.

ORD would be incredibly useful to me but I'm not convinced that it's an economic use of an airframe.

I'd be excited if Qantas was Air New Zealand...or is it the other way round
