Air New Zealand’s anticipated Boeing 777-200 direct service to Tonga from Auckland has touched down at the Fuʻamotu International Airport today.
The airline has 8 Boeing 777-200ER’s in its fleet and each holds 304 passengers, 26 in Business Premier class, 36 in Pacific Premium Economy, and 242 in Pacific Economy.
The new flight service comes after Tonga Airport made a million upgrade to its Fuʻamotu International Airport resurfacing the runway to make sure the 777 could land.
Previously the biggest aircraft that could land at Fuʻamotu was the 767.
