It might go down as the year of the “raw dogging” flight trend, but in 2024 Air New Zealand customers proved they couldn’t resist some adrenaline-fueled entertainment at 30,000 feet.
The airline has revealed the most-watched movies and TV shows on its inflight entertainment for 2024, with Jason Statham’s action thriller The Beekeeper securing the top spot.
Romantic comedy Anyone But You came in second, but it’s clear customers preferred a fast-paced flick to help the time fly by, with titles like Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes and The Fall Guy dominating the list of top movies.
For younger flyers, Bluey held onto its crown as the most-watched TV show for the second year running, followed by Peppa Pig. Sitcom staples like The Big Bang Theory and Friends had customers chuckling from takeoff to landing.
Air New Zealand General Manager Customer Experience Kylie McGillivray-Brown says it was great to see customers making the most of their time in the air.
“Whether it’s diving into a blockbuster thriller, laughing along with a sitcom, or keeping the little ones entertained with their favourite shows, our selection ensures there’s something for everyone.
“Air New Zealand’s inflight entertainment proves the best journeys come with a side of screen time.”
