What we know about NZ111

What flying AKL to SYD takes

It is a medium-haul sector, long enough for a full meal service, short enough for narrowbodies. Air New Zealand needs a narrowbody on the longer variants, or a widebody where demand justifies it: at this distance the choice is usually about seat count rather than range. In daylight the sun sits on the right (north-facing) side of the cabin for most of the crossing.

How we verified this

The origin and destination on this page are the ones we verified for callsign ANZ111 through adsbdb, not a schedule copied from elsewhere. We have logged it airborne on 30 days between 2026-09-20 and 2026-10-19. Timings are observations, not an official operational status: always confirm with the airline before travelling.

This page was published from our own tracking record rather than a third-party schedule feed, so it grows as we see the flight again. The seven-day log below is the raw version of the same evidence.

NZ111 against the rest of the AKL-SYD pairing

We track 2 scheduled services between Auckland and Sydney, all of them Air New Zealand. Among them, it is the only one flown with a Boeing 777-300ER.

Measured against NZ111:

Block time is gate to gate, so it counts taxi at both ends. That is why two flights covering identical distance rarely share a scheduled duration.

NZ111 activity in the past 7 days

Our database contains 7 observations of NZ111 across 7 UTC dates in this window, most recently 2026-10-19. Those records contain 5 distinct transponder addresses. The most frequently resolved route was AKL-SYD (7 records).

The median recorded visibility was 196 minutes. That is time inside receiver coverage, not airborne duration or an on-time-performance measurement.

How much CO2 does NZ111 emit?

Worked from the great-circle distance and the fuel burn measured for Boeing 777-300ER, the aircraft normally flying this route. Carbon dioxide only - see the method below.

Distance flown2,159 km
AircraftBoeing 777-300ER
Fuel burn rate8.86 kg per km
Fuel burned19,127 kg
CO2, whole flight60.4 tonnes
Seats, typical layout365
Passengers carried303 at an 83% load factor
CO2 per passenger199 kg

Where that lands by cabin

The aircraft burns the same fuel whoever is aboard, so the cabins divide one total rather than each carrying their own. A seat's share is the floor it takes up, which is why an economy seat comes out below the 199 kg cabin average and a flat bed well above it.

Economy299 seats, 248 flown
145 kg CO2 per seat
Business55 seats, 46 flown
420 kg CO2 per seat
First11 seats, 9 flown
579 kg CO2 per seat

Taken whole, NZ111 emits what 1,007 trees take back out of the air in a year. One economy seat on it accounts for about the same carbon dioxide as driving a petrol car 1,173 km, or 5,699 km of the same journey by train.

How this is worked out. Fuel burn is read from published measurements of this type, taken at sectors of 10,199 km, 11,112 km and 13,334 km, all longer than this route, so the closest is held flat and the real figure is likely a little higher. It counts carbon dioxide only, and the cabin split assumes the layout typical of this size of aircraft. Read the full method, sources and caveats, or put NZ111 against another flight.
