Image of the day: Lagardère marks Auckland Airport openings with Māori Karakia

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

Today’s celebratory image comes from The Moodie Davitt Report Chairman Martin Moodie’s home country of New Zealand. Courtesy of Lagardère Travel Retail Pacific Chief Executive Officer Przemyslaw Lesniak, it shows the Lagardère team celebrating the official launch of TikiTour, All Blacks (pictured below) and Relay stores at Auckland Airport.  

To honour the moment, the Lagardère Travel Retail team was led in blessing and song by local Kaumatua of Iwi Akitai Waiohua in a traditional Karakia (a Māori incantation and prayer that invokes spiritual guidance and protection).
