Air NZ on a flight of fantasy

Air New Zealand takes viewers on ‘A Fantastical Journey’ in its latest safety video that features Hollywood actors Katie Holmes and Cuba Gooding Jr.

Air New Zealand has teamed up with American actors Katie Holmes and Cuba Gooding Jr. for its latest safety video titled ‘A Fantastical Journey’. Air New Zealand’s safety videos have collectively generated more than 108 million views online to date.

The latest video is an Alice in Wonderland inspired adventure, featuring a number of iconic locations throughout New Zealand, including the Southern Alps; Otago – including Dunedin and the Moeraki Boulders; the Conway River in Canterbury; Wellington; Mt Taranaki; Waitomo Caves; Rotorua; Cathedral Cove in the Coromandel; Tolaga Bay (north of Gisborne); White Island and the Auckland Harbour Bridge. New Zealand singer and songwriter Gin Wigmore has recorded her own version of the song ‘My Little Corner of the World’ for the background track for this video.

Jodi Williams, General Manager of Global Brand and Content Marketing, Air New Zealand, says, “A Fantastical Journey will put all eyes on New Zealand by showcasing some of the best the country has to offer. With the help of Hollywood stars Katie Holmes and Cuba Gooding Jr., our latest safety video takes viewers on a journey to New Zealand’s stunning beauty, incredible culture, friendly people and amazing flora and fauna while also sharing the airline’s key safety messages. For this video, we took a different approach creatively, working closely with our creative agency True and Auckland based production company Assembly throughout the process. They helped render world-class special effects to the video and subsequently, fulfil our aim of taking people on a tour of the country which is nothing less than magical.”

Gin Wigmore says she’s loved teaming up with Air New Zealand again after first working with the company on its first creative safety video the ‘Bare Essentials’ in 2009 and then again more recently to record a version of the track ‘Tomorrow’ from the movie Annie for the airline’s ‘Where To Next?’ campaign.
