Next Generation Boeing 737-800
We now have a fleet of eight new next generation Boeing 737-800 aircraft on our trans Tasman routes from Auckland and Wellington. As well as a few friendly locals on board, you can look forward to full service in Business and Economy with food, drinks and the very latest on demand in-flight entertainment systems offering you more than 300 entertainment options, and seating styled by international design icon Marc Newson.
