Japan Airlines Retires Third Boeing 777-300ER (JA735J) After Final Flight
Air New Zealand has announced that Wamos Air will operate certain flights on the Tokyo/Narita–Auckland route.
From October 26 to November 29, flights NZ90/99 on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, and from December 2 to March 29, 2026, flights NZ94/95 on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays (departing Auckland the previous day) will be operated by Wamos Air using Airbus A330-300 aircraft. All other flights will continue to be operated by Air New Zealand.
The arrangement is due to supply issues with Rolls-Royce and Pratt & Whitney engines. Some services on routes connecting destinations such as Samoa, Fiji, Tahiti, and Bali are also affected.
The Wamos Air aircraft are former Virgin Atlantic jets, with a cabin layout similar to Air New Zealand’s Boeing 787-9. The configuration features 31 seats in Business Premier, 48 in Premium Economy, and 185 in Economy.
