There is media around when a new airline or route arrives but nothing to farewell an old lady of the skies. No helicopters or even a monitor cross by the firies. Such a contrast to last Wednesday with the arrival of not a new Vietnam Airlines aircraft, as their 787-9 has been flying to Sydney since December, 2016, but "only" for a new route to Hanoi. At least the Air NZ pilot and ATC acknowledged the last flight on the radio on departure. Hopefully, the event was celebrated by Air NZ in the terminal prior to boarding the last 767 flight. We will probably see a story in Australian Aviation in the near future.
