Air New Zealand news

Airbus has confirmed that Air New Zealand’s unique all black A320 aircraft is nearly ready for delivery from the completion centre at Hamburg.  The aircraft is the first of Air New Zealand’s new domestic Airbus A320 jet fleet and will be the only aircraft to be painted with the exclusive livery.  ANZ has 14 of the 171-seat aircraft on order, which will be progressively introduced into the airline’s fleet from early February.

The interior for the new A320 fleet will mirror the recently revealed colour-scheme and materials being fitted into the airline’s new fleet of Boeing 777-300 aircraft, and includes LED mood lighting throughout the cabin.

Other news from ANZ is that a codeshare has been signed with Virgin Atlantic offering more flexibility and choice on routings between the UK and New Zealand for both carriers’ passengers.  The airline has also welcomed the news that Guangzhou-based China Southern Airlines will begin a new direct service to Auckland early this year. www.airnz.co.nz
