ZK-OKF Boeing 777-219ER (MSN 34378/575) of Air New Zealand, at Perth Airport – 1 March 2020. Air New Zealand operated Boeing 777-200ER aircraft on the Auckland/Perth services, instead of the usual Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners from 29 December 2019 through to 28 March 2020, due to ongoing issues with the 787’s Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 engines. Air New Zealand services to Perth ceased on 28 March 2019, due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) travel restrictions. On 10 September 2020, the airline announced that it was unlikely to fly its eight 777-200 aircraft in the foreseeable future and flew them to Roswell, New Mexico and Victorville, California in the USA for long-term storage.
