Air New Zealand has launched its Dream Seats campaign, with the help of Ambassador and acclaimed chef Josh Emett.
Dream Seats has kicked 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 New Zealand or around the world, Air New Zealand aims to bring big ambitions closer to reality.
To help launch Dream Seats, Air New Zealand has enlisted the help of high-profile Kiwis to be ambassadors, including acclaimed chef Josh Emett.
Each ambassador will personally award two Dream Seats to standout applicants and provide mentoring to support their journey forward.
“I left New Zealand with a one-way ticket to London and a dream of making it in the food world,” said Josh Emett.
“I worked in some of the toughest kitchens and eventually earned a place in Gordon Ramsay’s team. I know how powerful it is when someone backs your potential and now, I want to do the same for another Kiwi. I’ll be looking for someone who’s already put in the work and just needs that extra push to go further.”
Applications are now open at dreamseats.co.nz, where New Zealanders can share their story and explain how a Dream Seat could help them build momentum toward something bigger.
“This isn’t about granting wishes,” adds Foran. “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.
Air New Zealand Chief Executive Greg Foran said dreaming big is part of Kiwi DNA and the airline wants to help some of these dreams take off.
"At Air New Zealand, we’ve always believed in the potential of New Zealanders to make a positive impact both at home in New Zealand and globally. Dream Seats is an extension of that belief, a way for us to support those who are already striving and just need that extra lift to take their dream further,” said Foran.
“Whether it’s sport, business, science or the arts, New Zealand 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.”
