Paint peeling on wings of Air New Zealand's Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners

Air New Zealand says it has experienced some issues with paint peeling on the wings of its Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners. An Air New Zealand spokeswoman said the airline had been working with Boeing to resolve the issue. “Boeing is working to provide both an immediate as well as longer term solution,” she said. The paint issues did not present a safety concern, nor did they impact the structure or integrity of the aircraft, she said. It was a matter impacting the global fleet of 787s, she said. She would not say how of the airline’s 14 Dreamliners were affected or how long was it expected to take to resolve the issue. The aircraft continued to fly and were playing a key role in connecting New Zealand exports to the world during Covid-19, she said. <br/>
