I thought Air Pacific only sent their 767 and the 737's to Auckland. The colours look
really nice in the sun.

They have two 747 leased from Singapore Airlines and used to only come to AKL on Saturdays
however I think they come more frequently now. 767 was replaced with another 737. It might
all change as I hear the Fiji Government wants to nationalize the company and change its
name? Qantas has a shareholding in the company so maybe someone reading this can shed some
more up to date info?

Qantas has had a 46% share in Air Pacific since the 90's. Apparently Qantas has withdrawn
it's representatives for Air Pacific, which has caused some tension between the Fijian
gov and Qantas. Air Pacific has been undercapitalised over the years due to a lack of
money from the government, which makes Qantas' investment vital to the airline's future.
