THE PLANE

The Ultra Long Haul (ie more 12,000 kilometres) version of the twin-engined Boeing Dreamliner, 787-9, fitted with Rolls-Royce's new generation of Trent 100 TEN engines. Air New Zealand has 13 Boeing 787 Dreamliners in its fleet, including four 787-9s. With 138,000 litres of fuel aboard, it is capable of flying 1000 kilometres further than the 13,200 we expect to fly today.

THE ROUTE

Chicago to Auckland, non stop – the longest flight ever flown by Air New Zealand. It's also the longest non stop flight to have ever left Chicago's famed O'Hare International, the sixth busiest airport in the world.
