With an few A320 services in between to fill the gaps, the majority of NZ's capacity on AKL-SYD is operated by 777/787s.
Yes - but looking at it, a large number of flights are with small aeroplanes
wed : 2x320 + 1x777 + 1 x787
thu : 3 x 320 + 2x787
fri : 3 x 320 + 1x777 + 2x787

sun : 2 x 320 + 1x777 + 2x787
mon : 1x320 + 2x777
tue : 2x320 +2x789
14 services a week operated by 320s, 6 by 777s and 8 by 787s
The most number of seats are with large aeroplanes, but 50% of the services are with smal ones. Only 50% of the services offer a business class
Looking at the upcoming week, Qantas has 1 x 787 in the morning and currently relies on EK for a large aeroplane in the afternoon. QF does have a higher frequency of services over NZ
QF has a higher number of flights a day to NZ all offering a business class cabin - just not such a good one
wed QF : 5 services vs 4 NZ
thu QF : 5 services vs 5 NZ
fri QF : 6 services vs 6 NZ
sat QF : 5 services vs 3 NZ
sun QF : 6 services vs 5 NZ
mon QF : 5 services vs 3 NZ
tue QF : 5 services vs 4 NZ
When booking business class based on schedule, with 37 services vs 14 , QF has an advantage over NZ
