One of the first large-scale use of composite materials; Air New Zealand is the launch customer for the 787-9.

Fleet Rarity

This special livery is rare—Air New Zealand has very few aircraft in the All Blacks scheme.

Record Flights

Air New Zealand operates one of the world’s longest Boeing 787-9 flights; e.g. Auckland to Chicago.

Safety & Events

No major incidents with this livery; famed for association with New Zealand\'s All Blacks rugby team.

Still active in service as of 2024.
