NZ7 on 12 Dec cancelled due fuel leak. NZ7 on 13 Dec (same aircraft) now going via Honolulu and Nadi. Anyone know more?

Interesting. It's a 747 so you would have to assume that it's going home to be fixed at ANZES with reduced fuel capacity, such as some tanks shut off. Maybe a question for the Ask the pilot thread.

Yes, i agree, just wondering if anyone is onboard. I have a friend onboard but they are speculating that the world is going to end so i am trying to get some more accurate info!

Now talk of overnighting in Nadi due lack of crew duty.

An old fashioned 1960's style island hopping adventure! Maybe your friend should try to change to the flight on the 14th. It is showing available seats.

Actually sounds ok as he is in J. Lots of time to sample the beverages!
