The aircraft spent the past 184 days in Singapore receiving the ultimate cabin glow-up as it was retrofitted with all-new cabin interiors, including the new Business Premier Luxe seat, and redesigned Business Premier, Premium Economy, and Economy cabins. The aircraft, ZK-NZH, is the first in the airline's 787–9 fleet to undergo this world-first, full nose-to-tail retrofit.

Air New Zealand Chief Commercial Officer Jeremy O'Brien says the aircraft's arrival is an exciting moment in the airline's 85-year history.

"Seeing the first of our 14 Dreamliners to undergo this transformation arrive home is a huge moment for our people, our customers, and the future of Air New Zealand. We're so proud to deliver this new experience for those who fly with us around the world.
