I’m delighted to announce Indian Prime Minister @narendramodi will make his first official visit to New Zealand next week. India is one of the world’s largest and fastest-growing economies, and a country of enormous importance to New Zealand’s economic prosperity. We are taking the two countries’ relationship to the next level with our New Zealand-India Free Trade Agreement, signed in April, which will deliver more jobs, higher exports and stronger economic growth for New Zealand. This will unlock new opportunities to grow our goods and services exports into a market of 1.4 billion people – bringing more money into Kiwi communities, creating jobs and lifting wages.

On another forum there's the usual "yada yada why Qantas A380s in AUH for so long" so here's some fun A380 maintenance metrics: A380 has a 12 year cycle. Line maintenance checks (A & B checks) occur continuously on the flight line /1

New Zealand and China finally sign upgraded FTA in 'virtual signing ceremony'. New deal was agreed back in November 2019. Parliament will now consider the agreement for ratification before it enters into force. scoop.co.nz/stories/PA2101/S…

Aviation Week received a recent update on the program and were given access to one of the 777-9 test aircraft in the run-up to this milestone. See what happened behind the scenes in Guy Norris' exclusive inside look at the aircraft in Seattle. qoo.ly/39rgsw
