An ANZ Air New Zealand Boeing 787-9, registration ZK-NZD performing flight
NZ-289 from Auckland (New Zealand) to Shanghai Pudong (China), was enroute at FL360 over the Pacific Ocean about 350nm north of Honiara (Solomon Islands) when the crew decided to return to Auckland over reducing engine (Trent 1000) oil quantities for one of the engines. The aircraft climbed to FL370 for the return and landed safely back in Auckland about 5:10 hours after turning around and about 10:20 hours after departure.
The rotation was cancelled.
The airline reported the crew returned as a precaution due to one engine using more engine oil than usual. The passengers were rebooked onto the next available flight.
