Air New Zealand turns 80 in April
Air New Zealand will turn 80 years old this month. It was 30 April 1940 when they took their first flight to Sydney as TEAL. Here is a fun fact: Air NZ were the first airline in the world to boil hot water in the skies to be able to offer their customers tea and coffee.
Ahead of COVID-19, they had plans underway to celebrate their 80th, which understandably have now been cancelled. However, they were already well down the path with a video that captures some great moments of nostalgia that they still want to share with you. The video generated a few tears in the office when Air New Zealanders first saw it.
I hope you enjoy watching the video and manage to get some quality time this weekend with family or friends, be that within your bubble or virtually.

Founders Plantation Picnic, Saturday 4 May 11am - 2pm. Waimea Stream Reserve, Pembroke St, New Plymouth
New Plymouth Central Lions are hosting a family picnic and BBQ at the Founders Plantation.
The almost 2000 trees were planted in 1991 in a project organised by the Merrilands Lions Club (which no longer operates) to commemorate 150 years since the establishment of the colonial settlement of New Plymouth at Ngāmotu by surveyor Frederick Carrington in 1841.
Come and see the splendid Kauri, Kahikatea and Totaras after 30 years of development. Many families, businesses and groups were involved; the names are on the steel drums!
