Air New Zealand's perfect flight using optimal flying conditions and the co-operation of US, New Zealand and Australian aviation authorities, was hailed as a success in San Francisco today after the overnight journey from Auckland saved 4600 litres of aviation fuel.

The 4600 litres of fuel saving is around 4 per centless fuel than normally used.
This meant 9 tonnes(11,500kg) less carbon dioxide was emitted into the atmosphere. The flight across the Pacific normally produces 290 tonnes of C02.
The airline's chief pilot and operations general manager Captain Dave Morgan said at a press conference at San Francisco Airport after the Boeing 777 touched down five minutes early: We've proved today the way ahead for the industry.
Thenormal commercial flight NZ8, dubbed ASPIRE 1 (Asia and South Pacific Initiative to Reduce Emissions)is thefirst tailored test flight on the Pacific using technology andcleared gates at each end,eliminating air traffic congestion to test flight and fuel efficiency. It is part of a worldwide drive to make the aviation industry more environmentally friendly.
The aircraft sourced power from Auckland Airport's supply while still on the tarmac instead of burning its own fuel to drive electricity while boarding passengers
