ZK-NBV flew NZ7 to Auckland this morning for it's last ever flight. Word is it's been sold and will be refitted to an all economy layout, so at least it still has a future and won't be turned into Coke cans or parked up.

One thing that has been interesting has been some whispers lately they Air NZ are looking at the 748. Officially this has been denied, but Boeing are desperate to at least sell some more of these, and the extra seats do make it the perfect fit for the SFO and LAX routes.

If Air NZ could get a couple of these for a steal it could possibly be a good fit. The question is just whether having a couple of a single type stacks up.
