Many analysts who have written about how stupid it is for Air NZ to fly to EWR have totally overlooked this critical aspect of the business plan.

I wonder if they've got a CAA exemption to change their manual safety demonstrations to another day? Normally videos don't launch on the 1st.

Though a lot of planes won't have it on the first as they will have to load it. Unless they have room for multiple safety videos, so can preload?

I think all they care about is the video playing on social media on 1 Aug. Given their safety videos are more of a marketing exercise, they wont be bending over backwards to make sure it is playing onboard on the 1st.

Though LHR-PER is a 787-9 with GE engines and not Trent and DOH-AKL a 777-200LR. Do the AirNZ 789s have the config for the route or would they need a v3? Which is lower density again? And need at least three of the aircraft to do the route and cover maintenance.

Maybe its it’s going to be AKL-EWR, with the new safety video playing on that.
Could have have arranged an All Blacks v USA game in New York post RWC as an promo opportuniy?

I'm still a firm believer Air NZ are going to launch EWR with a code3 789 a lot sooner than many predict. I just don't see tomorrow being that day (and tomorrow is just about the safety video at present).

literally most American's don't even have passports.
Literally every American has a secret dream of visiting NZ one day and many think it'll take them a week to get to NZ right now..
