Air New Zealand has chosen to order new wide-body planes from NZD750m , according to unnamed sources. The carrier has been considering replacing eight Boeing 777-200ER aircraft in a deal worth over $2 billion at list prices, though carriers typically receive steep discounts. The news comes after the airline's CFO Jeff McDowall said the Boeing 787 and 787 aircraft were options under consideration. Air New Zealand started a February cost-cutting programme in two-year when it deferred aircraft capital expenditure of NZD750m ( $488m ), while in February the airline cut domestic fares by as much as 50% .
