What happened

Air New Zealand added an iMTOW-capable Boeing 787 to its fleet; aircraft ZK-NZT arrived in Auckland from San Antonio on October 29, 2026.

Why it matters: The upgrade supports additional payload on long-haul routes, while the delayed cabin product postpones a differentiated passenger experience.
