Air New Zealand

Air New Zealand Limited, the flag carrier of New Zealand, was founded on April 26, 1940, as Tasman Empire Airways Limited (TEAL). The New Zealand government purchased the airline in 1965, renaming it Air New Zealand. A member of the Star Alliance, it operates domestic and international services.

Boeing 777

The B777 is an American long-range, wide-body twin-engine jet airliner that first flew on June 12, 1994, and entered service as the 777-200 on June 7, 1995, with United Airlines. It is the largest commercial twinjet and was the first airliner designed entirely using computer technology and Boeing’s first fly-by-wire aircraft.

One of the world’s longest-range airliners, the 777-200LR can travel more than halfway around the globe and holds the record for the longest non-stop flight by a commercial aircraft.

The cockpit crew consists of two pilots, and the passenger cabin can accommodate between 314 and 396 passengers, depending on the specific variant and seating arrangement.

The 777 is powered by two engines: General Electric GE90, Pratt & Whitney PW4000, or Rolls-Royce Trent 800 axial-flow turbofan engines. The engines are mounted on pylons, one under each wing.
