KFC’s Zing Air takes to the sky for the first time
Over the weekend, the first flight of KFC’s Zing Air took off, delivering a group of Kiwis from Auckland to Wellington to watch the Blues take on the Hurricanes at Sky Stadium.
On arrival, passengers were greeted and taken to a private departure lounge in Auckland, with red and white floral arrangements in KFC buckets, branded pillows and the Colonel’s chicken.
They then went down a KFC striped runway to board their flight, where they were treated to light refreshments and beverages on board.
On arrival in Wellington, all passengers were taken directly from the airplane to a private car and transferred to their hotel accommodations for the night.
After some downtime, guests were transported to Sky Stadium for the Hurricanes Poua vs Blues Women’s match and the Hurricanes vs Blues.
After breakfast on Sunday morning, they were picked up and transferred to Wellington Airport to fly back to Auckland.
Taking flight
Leanne Too, KFC Marketing Director says, “We’re thrilled that Zing Air has finally taken flight with our first winners over the weekend and can’t wait to continue to build on this momentum throughout the season with other flights taking off”.
“KFC has been bringing Kiwis together for years, but this is a new way to fly and enjoy a couple of Kiwi’s favourite pastimes, rugby and chicken.”
Four more flights will depart from different spots throughout this Super Rugby season to ensure fans across New Zealand can board KFC Zing Air and support their team.
