Brand New Air NZ Airbus ZK-OYE to Desert Storage

You have got to feel for Air New Zealand, who along with many other airlines are having problems with the Pratt and Whitney PW1100G geared turbofan engines on the Airbus NEO fleet.  It is pretty serious when it results in brand new aircraft being flown off to desert storage at Alice Springs where their engines are removed for use elsewhere in the fleet.

Here is ZK-OYE on its way to Alice Springs in September.  I think ZK-OYD is already there.
