Air New Zealand has announced it will upgrade its fleet of eight Boeing 777-200ER aircraft which entered service in 2005. These aircraft will offer the new cabin standards offered on the airline’s 777-300ER and  featuring new Business Premier, Premium Economy and Economy including SkyCouch. NZ will also install the latest Panasonic eXlite inflight entertainment system, including high resolution touch screens for all seats in the aircraft. This will allow a product harmonisation across the long haul fleet. First aircraft with the reconfigured product will be ready by second quarter 2014 along with the expected delivery of the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners.
