Air NZ 747 at Las Vegas

[Justin L]

I can see an Air New Zealand 747 at a stand off bay for Terminal 2 from my office window here in Las Vegas (local time Fri-16-Jul 1.50pm).

I did a quick check of Air NZ's website and couldn't find anything, but does anyone know if this is a charter or a diversion?

According to someone on Airliners.net, it is a charter for Flight centre.

Yeah, this was for the 2010 Flight Centre Global Ball...

They took an Air NZ 747 to Barcelona last year. Next year will be Paris, so you might just see an Air NZ 747 parked there too!

Once again we have an Air New Zealand charter (http://airlineroute.net/2011/08/06/nz-las-aug11/) visiting us here in Las Vegas. Attached is the best shot I could get from my office window.

Justin,

A second one should arrive soon too..

[Justin L]

The second one is already here. It's hard to tell from the photo I attached, but you can make out the tail of the second 747 above the "AND" in "AIR NEW ZEALAND".
