Air New Zealand chief customer and digital officer Jeremy O\u2019Brien says the charter reflects the airline\u2019s belief that journeys should be as memorable as the destination. <\/p>\n

\u201cMoments like this are what travel is all about. It\u2019s about anticipation, excitement and feeling part of something special from the very beginning.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen a brand-new national stadium opens its doors with Synthony and Six60 sharing the same stage, it deserves a journey that matches the scale of the moment. This charter is our way of making sure the trip there feels just as iconic as what\u2019s waiting on the ground.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last year the airline collaborated with live music venture Synthony on a charter that turned the cabin of Flight NZ1331 to Sydney into a high-altitude rave<\/a>, headlined by Shapeshifter\u2019s P Digsss. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe first Synthony in the Sky experience to Sydney in November was so popular we had to bring it back for a second act. Tickets sold out in just six hours. Anyone interested in round two will need to jump onboard quickly,\u201d O\u2019Brien said.<\/p>\n

Kiwi DJ Dick Johnson is excited to return for his second sky-high gig experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs well as being a world first for aviation, Synthony In the Sky marked the first time I\u2019d ever DJ\u2019d at 30,000 feet. The atmosphere was unlike anything else – 200 ravers all there for the same reason: to party on a plane, with the added buzz of heading into Synthony in Sydney<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tickets for Flight NZ1212 are on sale via Air New Zealand from 5am on Tuesday February 24 and are limited. <\/p>\n
