Just because an aircraft is certified for 180 minutes ETOPS doesn’t mean that every operator in the world will be granted it. ETOPS is granted to an airline based on an airframe, engine and operator reliability in service formula. For Pacific Blue to be granted ETOPS on their aircraft they would, I suggest, have to have their aircraft maintained under someone else system of maintenance. In this case Air New Zealand.
