It should do, I would expect them do fully refit these planes in 4 years time with the introduction of the 789
(If it ever flys).
NZ has mentioned that they have already started to design the next stage, for when the 789 do come.
NZ is going to sell the product to other airlines, but the contracts states that NZ has 24months exclusive use of the product. So by the other airlines start to fit it, NZ aircarft with be nearing a refit.
In the past we have seen NZ refit aircarft with new product about every 4-5 years.
