Air New Zealand New “All Blacks” 777 Comes Home

Star Alliance member Air New Zealand released this video showing the arrival of its latest 777 in it’s popular “All Blacks” livery in tribute to its national Rugby team. The airliner arrived in Auckland on January 12. It’s one of the boldest liveries that I’ve seen in a long time and looks absolutely spectacular in flight.

Here is the link to the New Zealand Herald article covering the event. There are some great photos in there!

The aircraft had drawn attention a few weeks ago when it first came out of the paint shop at the Boeing facilities in Washington. I wrote about it here.

Enjoy the video!
