Air New Zealand is launching the first of its signature cocktails onboard its international network on flights to New York and Chicago.

In partnership with renowned New Zealand drinks creator East Imperial, the new drinks will feature in Business Premier cabins on Air New Zealand’s New York and Chicago routes. It will be available onboard from late August through to October.

Air New Zealand Chief Customer and Sales Officer Leanne Geraghty says the seasonal cocktails will add a splash of excitement to cocktail hour and the airline’s inflight experience.

“Our customers have been raising a toast to our exceptional wine selection, but they’ve also shared their craving for a delightful cocktail now and then. So, we’ve shaken things up and partnered with East Imperial mixologists to craft some drinks exclusively for our Business Premier customers.

“We couldn’t be prouder to collaborate with East Imperial. Their top-notch products are made right here in New Zealand, with the finest, sustainably sourced, all-natural ingredients.”

The seasonal drinks are a nod to local ingredients with a dash of creativity and provide a taste of New Zealand’s finest flavours at 30,000 feet. The first drinks are gin-based cocktails but can also be served as an alcohol-free option.

The airline will be seeking feedback from customers on the new cocktails and looking to introduce other signature cocktails on a seasonal rotation.

Within each airline, you will find the country of origin, airline code, booking URL and seat map information. The rating system takes into account a number of different factors related to audits from aviation’s governing bodies, lead associations as well as the airline’s own safety data. Every airline has a safety rating breakdown so you can see exactly how they rate.

Over 230 of the airlines on the site that carry 99 per cent of the world’s passengers have a product rating. Given that low-cost, regional and full-service carriers are so different we have constructed a different rating system for each which can be found within each airline.
