(Hopefully this hasn't been posted before)

Air NZ have released their new safety video..
this is yet another... interesting idea!

This is certainly the best out of all their efforts lately -- it manages to squeeze in a lot of information in an easy to understand way, and it is genuinely funny.

Absolutely Brilliant!

I wonder what the CAA think?

I see a few familiar faces in that is well, Paul Henry, Phil Koeghan etc.
I wonder what the tourists will do when they see that?

It comes across as a little bit on the 'budget airline' kind of approach for me, rather than classy national carrier, but I did warm to it as it progressed. Paul Henry is brilliant (miss him!). Certainly funny

I just wonder what sort of passenger groups AirNZ are trying to attract? It seems like they are trying to get the 10-14 year olds onboard, judging by this safety video. Not the mark of a classy airline, and certainly to me, it sends out the wrong message. Very unprofessional.

No vote from me, hope that this is replaced before long.

smooth landings.

I thought I was the only one who thought that ! I generally don't like that style of video and I specifically don't like Richard Simmons, so if that came on while I was in the cabin I would be the one wearing earplugs and reading the passenger safety card.

I know about aisle lights and masks, I'd have scoped out the exits and counted rows before my butt hit the seat, I know where to put my bags (I'm a giraffe ??? A giraffeopotamus maybe) and there is absolutely nothing in my slowly failing memory that I would want to lose in order to remember that dross.

Like many of us here I know we are aviation minded and therefore we do respect aviation safety messages. However I've always noted that many, if not most average travellers don't - heads down in magazines while the crew demonstrate safety features. Since these more lighthearted videos have started, the attention rate has increased. Thats got to be a good thing and ANZ have eraned accolades arround the world for their novel approach.

I'm struggling to understand the relevance of the new video- the old one which was All Black themed would have been perfect during the RWC, but apparently ANZ disagree..

Tom , i agree .. bloody stupid and no relevance to ANZ ... better off having a Gaddfi than an over sized real life Bart Simpson

If Qantas, AA, BA or anyone else posted a new safety video, I bet it wouldn't get as many views as these ANZ ones. To me ANZ has always 'seemed' a conservative airline, but with this makes them seem like a fun airline, reminds me of freedom, and Virgin - both airlines that attract a lot of attention.

We follow this information, as mentioned earlier, because we have a love of airlines, planes and anything relating to these. But the general Joe Blow no longer sees airline travel as glamourous - more as a bus with wings. So to come up with something funny as a safety video, means people will watch it, and the next one, and the next one. I've watched it a couple of times, and picked up something different each time, as well as providing all the information required.

Good on them for thinking outside the square - I may not like Simmons, but I loved the video - and I'm a long way from 14...
