A Deep Dive Into The 2022 Air New Zealand Fleet

Рет қаралды 79,470

Күн бұрын

As an airline, Air New Zealand has really been put to the test with the health crisis of 2020. New Zealand's zero-COVID policy largely put a stop to international air travel, while the country's domestic aviation market slowed down as well. However, the airline has persevered and now, things are looking up.
In recent months, the airline has been hard at work re-activating some of its long-haul aircraft and has offered some exciting plans for its international 787 cabins, which will debut in 2024. With so much exciting and positive news, let's take a deep dive into the 2022 Air New Zealand fleet.

Air NZ is literally the only airline left to have the balls to take on full coated liveries + the shade of black in their designs. Much respect.

They used to be called TEAL (short for Tasman Empire Airways Limited) and stayed with a mostly teal and white livery for decades after they changed their name to Air NZ.

They missed a trick by not t least trialing the A350-900ULR which would help them out on the ultra long haul destinations they are so keen on. New York - Auckland for example. There is plenty of Airbus experience in the pilot corps, getting personnel for the long haul version of the A350 shouldn't be too hard. I guess we will find out when Qantas begin operations of their A350 ULRs for London - Sydney

As someone that lives in New Zealand and has flown AirNz many times, it has been underwhelming seeing the decline in quality standards over the recent years. The 787 engine issue was unexpected but the planes were returned to service. The A320s are so cramped it makes international flying uncomfortable, with no real upgrade option available on some flights. Business class is outdated and not well liked due to the herringbone layout. Cleanliness and delays are still problematic. However what the airline does well can make for pleasurable flights. The sky beds in economy (3 seats into 1 bed) are comfortable. 787s are roomy and comfortable. The check-in experience is nice. The future is looking good with the new products and I look forward to flying with them again.

Maybe it cheaper for them to keep a Wide body plane mainly Boeing as they already have existing wide body Boeing planes. Training and maintenance cost will be much less. Plus Airbus a350 is just too late to the party as air nz already bought 787-9 and the plane proven itself to be what the airlines needed so I guess that's why they're going for a 787-10.
