On June 27th, 2010, flying from Auckland to Queenstown, the entire plane, passengers and crew members included, will be hairless up top. What’s more, the ‘Sky High Shave’ is a noble cause because all proceeds will be donated to the Leukaemia & Blood Foundation of New Zealand.
Air New Zealand is no stranger to innovative advertising, seeing as past marketing strategies have included using shaven heads as billboards and the controversial ‘Cougar Ad.’
