Air New Zealand
In late 2009/early 2010, CRT/tanaka helped Air New Zealand transform international air travel by unveiling Future Taking Flight - a new passenger-centered experience in all cabins, designed based on behavioral studies and including: the first-ever sleep option in coach class called the "SkyCouch;" a more spacious premium seating option that allows passengers to choose social seating or a more private seating arrangement; and personalized, on-demand entertainment and food and beverage features. Announcement of the new product garnered more than 448 million media impressions in the first month alone, including CNN, USA Today, The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, numerous travel publications and influential blogs, including Gadling and Crankyflier.
