NZ Hearld
Air New Zealand's last jumbo has completed its final passenger flight for the airline but will carry on flying for another carrier.
The 16-year-old Boeing 747-400 touched down in Auckland this morning and has been sold to global aircraft supply company AerSale.
It will continue flying for a so far undisclosed carrier.
The final Air New Zealand jumbo flight departed last night from San Francisco where airport staff served cupcakes to departing passengers, one of whom reportedly flew from Britain especially to make the last journey on the plane, registered ZK-NBV.
