Missed tickets to Te Kaha's first concert? This AirNZ party plane has fans covered

Tuesday, 24 February 2026

A Christchurch bound flight from Auckland will include tickets to the sold out Once In A Lifetime concert at One New Zealand Stadium, plus soundcheck access and performances from the headline acts Synthony and Six60.

The flight on Friday May 15 will feature live performances by Synthony and then once on the ground, the ticket permits access to an exclusive Six60 acoustic performance, followed by behind the scenes access to Synthony’s concert soundcheck, and a GA ticket to the sold out stadium show on Saturday May 16.

Air New Zealand chief customer and digital officer Jeremy O’Brien said 'turning a flight into a live performance at 30,000 feet is about giving our customers a story they’ll tell for years to come”.

“When 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’s waiting on the ground,” O’Brien said.

Kiwi DJ Dick Johnson was involved in the first Synthony In The Sky Air New Zealand experience to Sydney in November and is returning for this second sky-high gig.

“As well as being a world first for aviation, Synthony In The Sky marked the first time I’d ever DJ’d at 30,000 feet. The atmosphere was unlike anything else - 200 ravers all there for the same reason: to party on a plane,” Johnson said.

“I loved the experience of DJing alongside live performers jumping in throughout, and I can’t wait to curate another one for Christchurch and Once In A Lifetime.”

Tickets for the experience will be on sale on Tuesday and will be limited.
