Star Alliance seems pretty happy about the new paint scheme, with VP for alliance development and communications Siu Ling Fock saying the group honors each of our 26 member airlines' distinct heritage, character and style. The airline also has 52 regional turboprops operated by Air New Zealand Link, split between 29 ATR72-600s and 23 De Havilland DHC-8-Q300s. Its in-service fleet includes 17 A320s, six A320neos, seven A321neos and 14 B787s. ![]() The latest aircraft to join the fleet will be one of three Airbus A321neos the airline will receive over the next few months. The next in the series is an Airbus A321neo sporting the Star Alliance branding. Hats off to Air New Zealand for this livery - it. After so much success with its All Black livery, Air New Zealand is about to unleash another aircraft painted all black. Of the 14 not in service, seven are Boeing B777-200ERs which are not likely to return, and four are B777-300ERs, a type that ANZ has repatriated back from desert storage in the US. The brand new Air New Zealand All Blacks Livery on their Boeing 777, ZK-OKQ is something seriously special. Williams said that "Demand for travel is showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon, so we're excited that these aircraft will help add much-needed capacity on our domestic routes - they won't be sitting on the tarmac for long." According to, Air New Zealand is operating 97 of its 111 aircraft. ![]()
