New Zealand has received the first of four Boeing P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft ordered in 2018.

In a press statement, Boeing said that it handed over the aircraft to the Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF) at the Museum of Flight in Seattle, Washington, on 7 December. The delivery was made over eight months, after the keeling ceremony of the aircraft was announced on 16 March.
