13,000 Miles & 24+ Hours Flight: Why This Airbus A321neo Is Flying From Europe To New Zealand Via The USA

Kiwi carrier, Air New Zealand, is set to welcome its latest Airbus A321neo to the fleet, but first, it’s currently making its long-haul multi-stop trip from Airbus in Hamburg, Germany, to Auckland, New Zealand. Historically, delivery flights would make the multi-leg trip via the Middle East and Asia, but this time, due to rising tensions across the region, the aircraft will stop in Canada and Hawaii instead.
