Air New Zealand will add four Boeing 777-300ERs to its fleet, in addition to the eight 777-200ERs that the airline currently operates, under an agreement signed here today. The 777 is the clear leader in the 300- to 400-seat segment with 65 percent of the market, and unfilled orders in excess of 340 airplanes valued at approximately $87 billion at current list prices. Airlines worldwide have ordered more than 990 777s.

Air New Zealand operates an all-Boeing twin-aisle fleet that also includes eight 747-400s and five 767-300ERs, and the airline has ordered eight 787-9 Dreamliners with options for eight more.
