This story first appeared in the July 2019 edition of Australian Aviation.
New Zealand’s geographical remoteness lends itself to record-breaking, long distance flights. The Auckland-Doha non-stop by Qatar Airways is the second-longest travelled by any airline in the world.

Rod Pickin
says:Any airline that has to plan on a continual regulated payload in order to operate a specific route is maybe trying to utilise that aircraft beyond it’s intended production capabilities, at the same time the customer has to pay more to cater for that specific regulated load. In addition, in the long term, does management really think that they will be able to retain crews on these long haul routes; sure we have crew rest areas BUT we are still there, in the tube for at least double the duty time of what otherwise would be the norm and O.H. & S must surely have a view. Regional/Domestic looks tops to me
Chris
says:Air NZ has been doing a series of short YouTube videos about the ‘great’ announcement on 1 Aug 19. The latest video quickly shows a cabin diagram of B787 with no seats so I suspect that the proposed new 4 class cabin and seat designs will be announced on the 1 Aug 19.
Yort
says:There is no race. When Qantas can fly non-stop to London and New York from Melbourne and Sydney, they will knock all long haul competition out of the proverbial ball park.
Peter
says:ANZ’s PE I think is number one rated, however for those that need to travel Y class the 3+3+3 is one row too many when flying ultra long haul.
Nigel Kay
says:The 787 is not a well built aeroplane, Boeing moved it’s production to South Carolina employing unskilled imigrants to assemble these planes. They should buy their plabes elsewhere it’s only a matter of time before one of these things falls out of the sky. .
