    • And ... Mahan Air gets 340-600s

      For the range and uplift, fuel is not an issue, if they can fill the cabin

      Iran-based airline Mahan Air has purchased 8 Airbus A340-600s from Virgin Atlantic. The eight four-engine, wide-body jets arrived at Mehrabad Airport in Tehran last night. The A340-600 seats more than 320 passengers in three-cabin configuration and has a range of 13,700 km (8,513 miles). The arrival of the Virgin’s A340s, believed to be less than ten years old, adds newer modern aircraft to the country’s aging civil aviation fleet and is a welcome sign for travelers to and from Iran. Mahan Air also purchased an Airbus A321 as part of the transaction.

      • On the 25-Aug, NZ took delivery of 5th B787 which has a rego of ZK-NZC flew from PAE to it's base AKL. According to planespotters.net, NZ's B787 fleet-registration starts from ZK-NZC. Wondering why they dont have ZK-NZA & B ? Why it took 2 years to deliver ZK-NZC to it's owner (NZ)? Sources tells me it flew the first flight some time in Sep 2013.

                              New US route planned

                              •Air NZ is looking at adding to its routes to the US.
                              •Chicago, Houston and Las Vegas are on the shortlist.
                              •Chicago is almost 13,200km from Auckland.
                              •It is within the Dreamliner's 15,372km range.

                              I was suggesting Las Vegas closer to LAX. But as above they might add Chicago. An announcement could be made by early next year and flights start within the next 12 months.
                              Any idea if NZ has launched direct flights to Chicago, Las Vegas and Houston which were in short-list of NZ in late 2014. I am hearing NZ going to launch Vietnam and Phillipines. Is it true? Do you have more info? Tnx.

                                Hi Banu QF and AA did a massive partnership deal to US via AKL SFO and Jfk I think. Not sure about nz expanding in US. AA will start flights to AKL from next year mid.

                                Yep nz will fly to Vietnam. Next destination will be MNL.
