Welcome back United Airlines!
13 years since the last United Airlines flight into Auckland, where they used their 777-200's. Having another american airline use one of their newest equipment to Auckland is fantastic for New Zealand.
This service is used by the Boeing 787-8, 3 times weekly until 30 October 2016 when the service will be utilised by the Boeing 787-9, daily.

Star Alliance members, Air New Zealand and United Airlines will be reaping the rewards of this route as Air New Zealand currently operate the Boeing 777-300ER daily, and with the revenue sharing partnership they will compete with American Airlines and Qantas' partnership as well as opening up more routes to the US and beyond.
