The song is Pokarekare Ana , a Maori love song :) Pōkarekare ana ngā wai o Waiapu, Whiti atu koe hine marino ana e. , (They are agitated the waters of Waiapu, But when you cross over girl they will be calm. ) E hine e hoki mai ra. Ka mate ahau I te aroha e, (Oh girl return to me, I could die of love for you)
At the very end of the clip, you can catch a glimpse of a Boeing 747-400 that was once used in Air New Zealand's international fleet. The 747s are currently being replaced with the modern and efficient Boeing 777-300ER.
@karlytemaro Well miss Karly Te Maro, you have the most beautiful voice I have ever heard, bar none, and I would be deeply dissappointed if you weren't still singing. Please tell me you are still singing......Kevin
i remember growing up watching this commercial... i fell in love with this girl (im a maori boy myself and was 10 at the time.. soo i guess its alright). I made the mistake of telling my brother this and he hung shit on me everytime i pissed him off (saying "YOU LOVE THAT GIRL FROM THE AIR NZ COMMERCIAL!" out loud ... childish i know)... good times

@youlovethischik, to the best of my knowledge, it was made in 1999, the year Air New Zealand joined Star Alliance.
