Air NZ makes longest nonstop commercial flight in O'Hare history
Air NZ will make history Friday night when Flight 27 departs Chicago’s O’Hare International at 7:10 pm local time bound nonstop for Auckland, New Zealand more than 8,200 miles and 16 hours away. The new route will instantly become the longest nonstop commercial flight in the history of O’Hare and the longest ever flown by Air NZ, which is no stranger to long-haul flying. Air NZ will fly the new route on a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, one of the newer stretch models in the Dreamliner series. As Air NZ begins operations in Chicago, United Airlines will be watching closely. United has a vested interest in ensuring the new route succeeds. Air NZ is counting on United to help funnel customers to the new route not only from Chicago but other markets throughout the Midwest and Eastern US. <br/>
