Aircraft types that fly out of AKL?
I've decided to make it a personal goal for 2015 to fly at least one leg on every major (jet) aircraft type that flies out of AKL on a regular scheduled service.
I'll have no trouble hitting every type of aircraft that Air NZ uses, and a few others I already have planned, but fitting some of the others in could involve interesting diversions..
If you spot anything I've missed off the list below please let me know, would hate to miss one.

China Airlines is usually A330 (the 747 is temporary for peak season this southern summer).
Korean often has 777 instead of 747, and sometimes A330.
Fiji has A330 as well as 737.
Air Calin has A320.
Air Chathams has Convair.
Great Barrier Airlines and Fly My Skies have various small aircraft (e.g. Trislander).

EK is only A380 out of AKL, no 777.

Conviar 580 and Barrier Air are prop jobs, so i'll ignore those, maybe that can be the 2016 mission.. every prop service out of Auckland.
I pulled that list from the flightaware arrivals screen and it only covers a week I believe, so if it was a 744 last week thats all that will show up.
EK9777 was a B77L BNE->AKL, but maybe not a revenue service? Left as EK9822 to HKG. A quick search on emirates and I can't find any other 777 services to/from Auckland

Thanks, already have tentative plans to tick the 343 off during a daytrip to Sydney once I purchase a new toy to test on the way home. Will have to keep an eye out for a cheap grabaseat ticket to tick off the 733.

I didn't think EK flew freighters to NZ.
There are no airlines which EK codeshares with that operate both BNE-AKL and AKL-HKG.
Thus it appears to be a false record.

A search on emirates skycargo website confirms an Emirates 777-200 was scheduled to fly
EK9822 DWC-SIN-SYD-BNE arriving BNE 2050h
EK9777 BNE-AKL, 2320h depart
EK9778 AKL-BNE, 0820h
EK9871 BNE-AKL, 1145h
EK9872 AKL-BNE, 2000h
EK9822 AKL-HKG 0735h
It was a freight service, but I think we can conclude there was a tin can with wings generating the ADS-B and ATC tracks flightaware reported, and it was an Emirates operated flight.
Anyway, we have wandered far from the passenger services I was enquiring about.
