Air New Zealand Limited : Video of world’s largest black aircraft arriving in Auckland
01/13/2012 | 03:19am
Video footage is now available of Air New Zealand's
newest Boeing 777-300ER, the world's largest commercially
operated aircraft to be painted all black, touching down in
New Zealand for the first time today at Auckland
International Airport.
The aircraft's all black paint job is overlaid with
a design featuring New Zealand's distinctive silver fern
that extends across the rear of the aircraft up to its tail.
The paint job was extremely complex requiring 14 expert
painters at Boeing working in shifts 24 hours a day to get
the job done. Painting of the aircraft is part of Air New
Zealand's sponsorship of the New Zealand Rugby Football
Union and the World Champion All Blacks rugby team.
