50 years of Air New Zealand

On 30 April 1990, Air New Zealand paid for an advertising supplement in the Evening Post celebrating 50 years of the airline.  On the front page Qantas paid for the above ad.

The whole supplement is included below. followed by the specific articles.  The feature included a full page ad by the airline noting it had flown over 350 million kilometres from 1940 until 1990, and over 200 international flights a week. The airline has grown substantially since then. Also included is a photograph that appears to depict an early airport terminal (not clear which one to me).

• The first ever passenger of TEAL, who paid £25 at the time (1940) to fly from Sydney to Auckland.
• First Day Cover and Stamp issued for the airline's 50th anniversary depicting the Shorts Empire flying boat that operated the first flight, carrying 10 passengers across the Tasman at a speed of 220km/h, and depicting the airline's newest aircraft at the time - the Boeing 747-400.
• Cakes served on all flights to commemorate the anniversary.
