Boeing 787 Dreamliner to touch down in Auckland this Saturday The Boeing 787 will touch down in New Zealand for the first time on Saturday morning 12 November at Auckland International Airport. Air New Zealand’s Chief Pilot Captain David Morgan will be onboard the 787-8 test aircraft, joining more than 30 Boeing staff testing the aircraft’s performance as it makes its journey non-stop from Seattle’s Boeing Field Airport. Air New Zealand is hosting the aircraft at its engineering base at Auckland Airport for two days. The aircraft’s flight path over Auckland will depend on weather and wind conditions on the day but its arrival at Auckland Airport is expected at approximately 10am. full press release here: www.airnewzealand.co.nz/press-release-2011-boeing787-dreamliner-to-touch-down-in-auckland-this-saturday |
