From Air NZ Press Conference 0830NZDT by Rob Fyfe CEO
Aircraft had been on lease to XL Airways Germany and had been undergoing maintenance prior to being returned to Air NZ. The Aircraft had been repainted in Air NZ Livery.
The flight was being piloted by two Pilots from XL Germany and there were five others on board, one Air NZCaptain from Auckland, three Engineers from Auckland/Christchurch and one person from NZ CAA.
The aircraft was due to be flown to Frankfurt and accepted there and ferried back to NZ to return to Air NZ service.
Next update from Air NZ is a press conference at 1030.
