On 20th November, 2018 Air New Zealand Boeing 787-9 ZK-NZE made a visit to Adelaide Airport. This aircraft is painted in ANZ’s All Blacks livery and this was only its second scheduled visit to Adelaide. ZK-NZE has diverted to Adelaide before, however only the world’s oldest 787 has only been scheduled to Adelaide twice. ZK-NZE is one of seven aircraft painted in All Blacks livery along with a Q300, ATR72, A320, A321neo, 772ER and a 773ER. 20th of November 2018 was a great day to spot in Adelaide. There was a strong crosswind which made aircraft make extraordinary landings, including a Qatar Airways A350 landing almost sideways! Along with this rare ANZ 787-9 livery, Adelaide also got a Cathay Pacific A330-342 in the old livery and Virgin Australia A330-243 VH-XFH headed back to Melbourne after it’s diversion to Adelaide.
This was not the second scheduled visit to Adelaide, it have visited 3 times as scheduled already
