Marisa Garcia Count on David Flynn from Australian Business Traveller Magazine to bring us the hottest stories this winter (or more accurately summer); featuring an “inside look” at a sizzling new Safety Video from Air New Zealand. Read his superb article for the all the scoop and a lovely collection of all the recent Safety Videos Air New Zealand has contributed to aviation safety.

Great video @FlyAirNZ! Congratulations on their (first) entry into this year’s Safety Video Awards. I’m sure they’ll have more for us as the year progresses.
So what do you think? Will it be the Westies? The GSA’s (Golden Seatbelt Awards), as nominated by reader Jeff Solomon? Or have you come up with something better?
