Black beauty added to Air NZ’S domestic fleet

It has a unique livery you won’t find anywhere else in the world, and it has just arrived in New Zealand. Air New Zealand has welcomed a brand new A321neo to the fleet which will soon be a regular feature around the country. The special jet-black Star Alliance livery was a request by the airline to show the importance of the colour to the country. Three more of the model are due to arrive next year, with a further two in 2026. The planes will fly the main trunk routes such as Auckland to Wellington, Christchurch, Queenstown and Dunedin. The new aircraft will have its its first flight on December 3 from Auckland to Queenstown. The A321neo seats 217 passengers, 46 more than the current Air New Zealand domestic jets.
