Body Painted Pilots

Air New Zealand Has 'Nothing to Hide' in New Ad Campaign

Air New Zealand has ‘Nothing to Hide’ in their new cheeky new ad campaign, which features staff members in little more than body paint. Airline attendants, baggage handlers and even the pilots are seen in this cute video with their painted-on uniforms.

The employee’s uniforms do look remarkably realistic, but as you can see by the travelers’ grinning reactions, there are details that cannot be hidden underneath a mere coat of paint.

The song playing in the background is called Under My Skin by Gin Wigmores.
