Air NZ goes video crazy again
Air New Zealand has launched a cheeky in-flight safety video featuring retro fitness guru Richard Simmons.
The ‘Mile High Madness’ video is the latest in a series of fun safety videos from Air New Zealand, including one where the staff is naked apart from body paint.
The inflight video features Air New Zealand cabin crew and fitness instructors working out in colourful Lycra, fluorescent leg warmers and sweatbands.
There is also a cameo performance from AirNZ CEO Rob Fyfe dressed in pink shorts and a purple headband for the occasion.
Simmons, accompanied by the cabin crew, shows passengers the essential safety information, including how to “stretch like a giraffe†to put baggage into the overhead lockers, and Simmons’ favourite move “the duckâ€.
Simmons has been in New Zealand to take a fitness class to raise funds for the Christchurch Earthquake Red Cross appeal.
The new safety video and exclusive behind-the-scenes content with some hilarious additional dance-offs with Phil Keoghan, Temepara George and Paul Henry can be viewed at http://www.youtube.com/airnewzealand
