Our values
Our values have been an integral part of the airline for more than a decade. They are the foundation of our culture and our people truly embrace and live these values in all they do – from how they show up each day and interact with each other, to how they look after our customers and communities.
These are Welcome as a Friend, Be Yourself, Can Do and Share your Aotearoa, with associated whakataukī to support our connection with the rich culture, language and heritage of Aotearoa.
Be Yourself
We deeply value authenticity. This means having open and transparent kōrero, being confident to share your ideas and being keen to listen to others.

Can Do
Air New Zealanders are constantly curious, always putting safety first, taking pride in doing the basics brilliantly, and endlessly thinking big, starting small, acting fast.
