Air New Zealand’s first 787-9 Dreamliner landed in Perth on its inaugural flight from Auckland on 12 September.

The Air New Zealand 787-9 carries Air New Zealand’s signature black livery.

It’s the first of 10 the airline has on order; the remainder are likely to have the airline’s white based livery and three are scheduled to join the Air New Zealand fleet by November 2014.

It was an event worth celebrating with key media and trade guests.
