Auckland International Airport says the first commercial Dreamliner flight has landed there.
A China Southern Airlines Boeing 787 carrying 11 of that airline's dignitaries and nine Chinese media was welcomed by associate tourism minister Chris Tremain and the airport's new chairman Henry van der Heyden.
The new aircraft replaces the A330 currently used on the daily Guangzhou to Auckland route and increases China Southern Airlines' seat capacity by almost 5% a year.
