New Zealand Air in-flight safety video stirs up controversy
KGO-KGO

One airline is causing some turbulence with its latest in-flight safety video. The video by Air New Zealand features Sports Illustrated swimsuit models in bikinis detailing pre-flight safety rules.

It received instant backlash with thousands of critics signing a Change.Org petition, saying the airline is objectifying women.

The airline has pulled the video and petitioners are claiming victory, but Air New Zealand says it changes its safety videos every few months.
