Posted: Mon Aug 11, 2014 9:10 pmYea and we get to fly the 777 there. Bit of a raw stick for us really. They should have been limited to the 777 too

You're right, Air New Zealand should be flying something bigger than a 777 there...

This new arrival means you can now go, in one hop, from Auckland to Europe in an A380. That's pretty cool.[/quote]
One hop? Sure would be cool - but I do suspect this is a little beyond even what SAL can achieve?
Hypersonic one hop... now that would be REALLY cool!

I guess Boeing would have to say their 747-8
Posted: Wed Oct 29, 2014 4:00 pmUnsure entirely how this is a 'raw deal' for AirNZ? This is nothing but positive them.
I would imagine Boeing wouldn't touch the A380 market with a 10 foot barge pole, why would they?
