Black in the sky

Air New Zealand’s chief executive Rob Fyfe revealed images of the company’s design for a black domestic jet aircraft in Sydney this month. Fyfe said: “In celebration of Air New Zealand’s long running support of rugby in New Zealand, our first new A32 will arrive in January sporting a sleek black livery complete with silver fern motif and koru on its tail.” The first aircraft will be the only one in the fleet featuring the distinctive black. “Air New Zealand is crazy about rugby and from February this distinctive new plane will be operating on our main domestic New Zealand routes,” he said.
