The latest Boeing 777-300 in the Air New Zealand fleet was delivered to Cathay Pacific as B-KQD on the 20th of February 2013 are remained in service with the Hong Kong based carrier (apart from a stand down time during Covid) until the 19th of November 2023. It had a brief spell on the San Marino civil aircraft register as T7-L288 arriving registered as such into Auckland from San Bernadino  on the 15th of May 2024. It was placed on the New Zealand register as ZK-OKV the following day.

I am very grateful for Andrew Aley sending me these pics of ZK-OKV. He also caught it returning to Auckland after a test flight on the 12th of June 2024 (below),
