The Air New Zealand All Black Boeing 777-300ER
Air New Zealand have shown off their All Black Boeing 777-300ER aircraft today at Auckland International Airport.
This Boeing 777 is the world’s largest commercially operated aircraft to be painted all black.
The aircraft’s all black paint job is overlaid with a design featuringNew Zealand’s distinctive silver fern that extends across the rear of the aircraft up to its tail.
This type of livery paint job was extremely complex requiring 14 expert painters at Boeing working in shifts of 24 hours a day to get the job done.
Painting of the aircraft is part of Air NewZealand’s sponsorship of the New Zealand Rugby Football Union and the World Champion All Blacks rugby team.
The latest aircraft in the Air New Zealand fleet to be painted black is a Beech 1900D.
