Flying High: Air New Zealand Crowned the World’s Safest Airline and More ✈️🏆
Over the past decade, Air New Zealand has soared to international acclaim, consistently ranked among the world’s top airlines — and in 2025, it added another prestigious feather to its cap: named the world’s safest airline by AirlineRatings.com. But this is just one of many awards the Kiwi carrier has earned in the last ten years, showcasing its commitment to safety, service, sustainability, and innovation.
In recent years, Air New Zealand has repeatedly appeared in AirlineRatings.com’s Top 20 Safest Airlines, and in 2024, it clinched the #1 spot, beating out global heavyweights like Emirates and Qantas. This recognition is based on operational excellence, incident records, government audits, and pilot training.
Beyond safety, Air New Zealand has also won the coveted title of Airline of the Year multiple times — including 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2020. These awards recognise overall performance, customer satisfaction, fleet innovation, and environmental leadership. The airline is celebrated for its onboard service, including premium economy seating, world-class cuisine, and its uniquely Kiwi hospitality.
In the realm of sustainability, Air New Zealand has been a trailblazer. It’s consistently ranked in the Top 5 Most Sustainable Airlines globally, investing in biofuels, carbon offsetting, and electric aircraft trials. In 2023, it was recognised for its Flight NZ0 programme, an ambitious step toward net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
Air New Zealand’s iconic and often humorous safety videos have gone viral across the globe, winning awards for creativity and marketing. From Hobbit-themed clips to All Blacks cameos, they’ve turned in-flight safety into a cultural experience.
As Aotearoa’s national carrier, Air New Zealand doesn’t just connect cities — it connects people to a higher standard of flying. With a decade of accolades behind it and innovation ahead, it remains a shining symbol of Kiwi excellence in the skies.
