Air New Zealand supports the passion, drive, and ambition of New Zealanders with the launch of Dream Seats, a nationwide search designed to help Kiwi take the next step toward their dream.
Launched on Tuesday, 8th July, Dream Seats kicks off with an initial commitment of giving over 100 New Zealanders the opportunity to move closer to achieving their dreams, by giving them flights to support their journey.
Within Aotearoa or around the world, Air New Zealand aims to bring big ambitions closer to reality.
Beyond dreams
Airline CEO Greg Foran says dreaming big is part of Kiwi DNA and the airline wants to help some of these dreams take off.
Foran pointed out that Air New Zealand has always believed in the potential of New Zealanders to make a positive impact both at home and overseas.
Dream Seats is an extension of that belief, a way for the airline to support those who are already striving and just need that extra lift to take their dream further.
Foran said: “Whether it’s sport, business, science or the arts, Aotearoa is full of remarkable people doing incredible things. We’re proud to play a small part in helping more of them go further. This is not a one-off campaign, it’s part of our enduring commitment to champion Kiwi success, here at home and on the global stage.”
Who’s who
To help bring those dreams to life, high-profile Kiwi have joined the search including:
- Ryan Fox, NZ golfing legend and two-time PGA Tour winner
- Dame Valerie Adams, two-time Olympic gold medallist
- Shaun Johnson, professional rugby league player and podcast host
- Josh Emett, chef, and entrepreneur
- Simran Kaur, financial educator, and podcast host
- Tom Sainsbury, comedian, writer, and performer
Each ambassador will personally award two Dream Seats to standout applicants and provide mentoring to support their journey forward.
Air New Zealand is also proud to have the support of NBA star Steven Adams, whose impact on and off the court continues to inspire New Zealanders to dream big.
Foran added: “This isn’t about granting wishes. It’s about backing New Zealanders who are already doing the hard work and helping them take the next step, not just in their journey, but in their lives.”
Air New Zealand is encouraging Kiwi from Cape Rēinga to Bluff to put themselves forward, because every great journey starts with a single step, and this could be yours.
