Oh what we’d give to be on an airplane watching a safety video right now.

Better yet, one of the charming and quirky safety videos that Air New Zealand puts together.

With borders closed due to COVID-19, most long-haul flights to and from New Zealand have been grounded and international visitors are staying home.

So Air New Zealand teamed up with Tourism New Zealand for this new safety video being shown now on domestic flights.

In the video we see various destinations across New Zealand vying to be named the 8th Wonder of the World.  And, of course, we see the important safety instructions for flyers.

“The video assists in supporting the recovery of international tourism once borders reopen, ” says Air New Zealand Chief Customer and Sales Officer Leanne Geraghty. “We know the decision-making process for visitors to come to New Zealand will be different into the future – so we need to be building the appeal and desire now in international markets in anticipation of borders reopening. It’s important to keep New Zealand as a visitor destination top of mind.” 

Take a look and let us know what you think. We’ve also added some of our favorite ANZ safety videos and TV commercials from the past.
