NZ is asking itself some quite fundemental questions at the moment.
As they move from 747 to 777 and phase in 787... what is the case for routes that don't have AKL at one end?
Suspect LHR will always be a fixture.
But the route map in 10-15yrs time could look quite different... a whole fan of lines stretching directly out from AKL right around the Pacific Rim.
V. interesting stuff.
MAA?
BOM?
CAN?
And by that time... leaders who think they're James Bond... will be just a faint memory
