THE second ‘Airline vs Agent’ touch footy match between Air New Zealand and Flight Centre took place in Brisbane over the weekend, with the two teams comprised of senior executives from both companies.
Cam Wallace, chief revenue officer of Air New Zealand skippered the airline, while Graham “Skroo” Turner, ceo & founder of Flight Centre captained the travel agent.
In a closely-fought contest, Flight Centre took home the trophy for the second time.
The match is part of an ongoing friendly sporting rivalry which serves to promote their professional partnership.
“Third time lucky next year, probably at Eden Park for us, looking forward to the rematch,” said Wallace.
