Image of the Day: All Blacks pack down with Aelia at Auckland Airport

Our daily feature celebrates memorable scenes, moments, launches and campaigns from the global aviation and travel retail sphere.

Now, what remote, flimsiest chance do you think there was of a certain Kiwi travel retail publisher NOT using this photo as Image of the Day? Two actually. Slim and none. And Slim, as they say, just left town.

Our picture comes from Lagardère Travel Retail Pacific Chief Executive Officer Przemyslaw Lesniak, who notes, “Excitement hit our Official All Blacks store at Auckland Airport on Friday with fans and passengers treated to an in-store signing. All Blacks favourites Ryan Crotty, Tim Perry and Codie Taylor joined us in-store before flying out to Argentina for the All Blacks’ upcoming Rugby Championship test. We wish the team the best of luck!”

So do we Przemyslaw, so do we. And with a talented trio like that onboard (all, incidentally, from that same Publisher’s beloved Crusaders Super Rugby team), how can they fail? After all, last week’s loss to the Springboks was just an aberration right? They couldn’t lose two on the trot could they? Tell us it isn’t so Przemyslaw.

Power and passion: The store pays homage to the mighty All Blacks with a Wall of Champions and a virtual reality haka experience.
