It's Kiwi Safety #AirNZSafetyVideo

#ItsKiwiSafety is here! Our homegrown Safety Video It’s Kiwi Safety is the largest scale safety video we have ever produced, with a 600-strong cast. The video stars well-known Kiwi actor Julian Dennison (Hunt for the Wilderpeople, Deadpool2), local musicians Kings, Theia and Randa as well as talent from 30 community groups across the country.

The safety video was filmed at various New Zealand locations in Auckland, Wellington, Dunedin, Balclutha, Hokitika and Naseby in Central Otago. It also features a number of Air New Zealanders including cabin crew, pilots, engineers, loaders and airline staff from Dunedin Airport. Enjoy!

Original music track: “It’s Tricky” by RUN-DMC
“In the Neighbourhood” by Sisters Underground
Track produced by Josh Fountain of Auckland’s Golden Age Studios.

The cabin crew who survived having to bear through this multiple times deserve a medal.

I just came back from a holiday in New Zealand. Lovely country, lovely to watch this video 4 times was the only bad part of the trip

[hjm]

Probably the worst safety video Air NZ have ever made, just annoyingly cringe and hard to understand the overall message

[cma]

Oh my God. This is absolutely horrendous! The safety message is completely lost. Very hard to follow. So much cringe. How on earth can this be approved by CAA NZ?! I feel sorry for the crew that need to endure this up to 6 times a day, let alone once. That's 4 minutes and 37 seconds of my life I'll never get back.

It says Kiwi...and there is nothing Kiwi about it. It screams America and looks like only what you would get in Auckland. Never anywhere else in the country which holds a lot more Kiwi values. Hardly representative of us at all.

It would be easier to understand a Death Metal safety video than this.

[annag]

I'm a Kiwi and this is absolutely cringey. I'm embarrassed that the world sees this and embarrassed that lots of people thought this was a good idea. It's awful.

[DougieBarclay]

Bunch of kiwis saying "its kiwi" in American accents.

Identity crisis?

[mattbrown]

On behalf of the people of the Province of Nova Scotia I apologize to all the people of New Zealand for having to endure this You deserve better.

[michellegosse]

Thank you for your bravery for keeping this video up on YouTube.

[mollyr]

This is awful just imagine the elderly trying to understand this ..

[andreacarboni]

This video is proof that we are in the Bad Place

I think people take this waaay too seriously. I think Air NZ has done a great job making fun videos for all to enjoy. If you enjoy watching perfect looking people reading a script in a dead tone go fly some other airline. At least Air NZ was bold and creative enough to make these videos. They also have historically been a well-respected airline with several awards.

[horsierida]

Watched this on a recent flight from LAX to Auckland, Pretty sure everyone on the plane was also cringing. I was embarrassed to be from NZ with this .

[chelseafoster]

I feel like our safety videos are more focussed on being “cool and creative” than safety itself. If I was travelling on a plane for the first time and I was unfamiliar with safety procedures I don’t think I would be able to pick up on anything in this video, it’s too fast and hard to pin point the parts that are actually important

[kathrynwilliams]

Some people won’t be able to understand the Rapper. Safety message will get lost. Sorry. air NZ

[tracyprentice]

I’m 52, and thought it was rather entertaining.
I’m also American and didn’t need to listen to the lyrics to understand the safety rules. I understood them just by watching and from previous flying experience.
Cheers!

[coppertree]

At least they incorporated almost every resident of New Zealand in the video.

[mitchpnz]

This is the worst, most cringeworthy thing that has ever come out of our country. On behalf of all of NZ, sorry

[LXA]

“It’s Kiwi!”.... using American accents and a Run DMC song

[GeorgeI]

I swear New Zealanders are THE most creative when it comes to Airline instructions. For realz.
