ZK-OKE NZ's latest 772ER had its first rev flight today to SIN as NZ81...
Nice aircraft, lovely new plane smell
off to a slow start however... drunk pax had to be offloaded...15min delay!
Can't wait for the next 3 772ER's to arrive
hopefully followed by leased 788's and purchased 748I's! Then of course NZ launch airline for 789's!

you know im quite surprised.
Last time i got on NZ one, they didn't stop serving me until i passed out. Of course, i sat there very well behaved, but, after being stuck inbetween to very very large polynesians i needed something to knock me out, until at least as far as LAX. So it suprises me, because, kiwis, like australians, britions and germans, tend to have a rather tolerant attitude towards alcohol.

he must have been obviously drunk if he was off loaded.....i once saw this pommy backpacker who was heavily intoxicated been denied boarding an Osaka 767. Wonder what time he started drinking as the flight was leaving at 12.30pm

I saw this beautifull shining bird sitting at the gate today. When was the delivery flight? Must have missed it since I was lucky enough to have the whole weekend off.

I love both Airbus and Boeing as much as I love aviation!

Delivery flight was the 24th or 25th... can't remember exactly... took a few days to get everything checked then into service... nothing beats that new plane smell
Why are people assuming that the drunk was male? ZKpilot didn't say so.
Anywho, not the nicest thing for the staff to deal with, regardless of the gender of the person involved. Hope they didn't ruin the new plane smell with booze fumes....

LOL great new names lol... aye to fulla.
Would be even better if they named them properly as they did in the old days, like when the Electras flew from Whenuapai... Aotearoa, Akaroa and Atarau.
They named the Friendships as well - the Mk100s anyway delivered during the 1960s... Kuaka, Kotuku, Koweka, Korere, Kahu, Karuwai, Kea, Koropio and Kotare. Beautiful.

What happened to the idea of naming the long haul A/C after Cities like the 747s have been? And having a little blue sticker which no-one can see until you are up close?
