Recently, Air New Zealand revealed how passengers spent their flying hours in 2025, sharing insights into what filled screens and headphones on board last year.

Taylor Swift climbed to the top of the company’s music charts, and 1989 (Taylor’s Version) and The Tortured Poets Department respectively rank as last year’s two most listened-to albums.

When it came to film, action titles dominated in-flight screens – as usual, the airline said.

Gladiator II was Air NZ passengers’ most-watched movie of 2025, with films such as Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning (fifth most popular) and The Amateur (seventh) adding to the genre’s prominence.

Drama titles were the second most popular, bolstered mainly by viewership of Conclave, Juror #2 and It Ends With Us – the second, third and fourth most-popular flicks on board last year.

Kiwi content also found a strong audience, with homegrown film Tinā ranking among the airline’s top 10 most-watched movies.
