Kia Ora, which means 'hello and welcome' in Maori was chosen as the name of the in-flight magazine because of its warm, relaxed and welcoming meaning.

Customers are welcome to either read the magazine on the plane, or take it away to read at their leisure. The in-flight magazine also contains our in-flight entertainment guide for Pacific Economy.
