Innovation in the Air - A PDMA-NZ Event with Air New Zealand

  • Air New Zealand 185 Fanshawe Street, Customer Innovation and Collaboration Centre Auckland New Zealand (map)

Kerry Reeves, Head of Airline Programs is sharing the latest Air NZ innovations and how they are re-inventing themselves post COVID-19.

We know many people have been experiencing some highs and lows this year, and it's no secret that Air NZ have been having an extremely tough time. In the wake of COVID-19, Air NZ have had to completely reinvent themselves and make new plans on how best to serve their customers now that international travel seems like a thing of the past.

We are honoured to have Kerry Reeves, Head of Airline Programs, along with Industrial Designers Zoe Wenn and Kate Cameron-Donald give us an insight into Air New Zealand innovation efforts and how they are overcoming the challenge in front of them.

The main topics for the night will be:

  • Skycouch development, certification, commercial model, marketing and licencing royalties

  • Skynest concept

  • Next new product development process

Join us as we explore the ins and outs of developing new products in an industry leading company amidst the current business environment. This is a great opportunity to learn and gain new, relevant perspectives which could be put straight to use in your own companies or commercial interests.

The event will be a mixture of presentations and the chance to try out some actual Air NZ products in a simulated aeroplane environment! Following this we will have some nibbles and light refreshments with the opportunity to network with fellow attendees.

Numbers for this event are strictly limited so sign up now!
