United Airlines - Welcome Back to Auckland

Well after 13 years 3 months and 4 days, it sure is great to see my old employer back in Auckland.

United Airlines inaugural B787-8 flight touched down in Auckland at 0641 yesterday the 3rd Jul from San Francisco and arrived at gate 6 to a warm welcome on a cold winters morning.

United will operate on the San Francisco - Auckland  - San Francisco route in conjunction with Air New Zealand in a joint revenue sharing / marketing alliance. They will operate the B787-8 Dreamliner 3 days a week until October when they will upgrade to the B787-9 and also go to daily flights.

Their first flight was operated N27908 and it was just perfect conditions for a sunny winters day takeoff back to SFO.
