Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

Partnering to Protect our Littlest Airline

What did you think?

The night shift gets giggly. Air New Zealand's most-watched new upload finds a pilot and a conservation worker forgetting lines, laughing in the forest and wrestling with a device that refuses to switch on.

It's a behind-the-scenes promotional reel for the airline's Department of Conservation partnership, with actors in both uniforms. The aviation language has a smaller-than-usual subject: native long-tailed bats. In the companion video's description, Air New Zealand says the project helps track and explain their night-time flight paths to support protection of the species.

Both uploads carry the title "Partnering to Protect our Littlest Airline", but the bloopers have found the much larger audience, passing 330,000 views. Beside a forest's natural quiet, the pilot supplies the campaign's neatest line: "This might be the quietest airport I've ever worked in."

That reel also carries the channel's strongest daily momentum by a considerable margin. Across the channel, daily views are running at more than three times their usual level, while the subscriber count was unchanged over the week. Air New Zealand drew more weekly views than the larger Sporty's Pilot Shop channel, where viewing is only modestly above its usual daily level. Here, the week's two uploads traded aircraft guessing games for a conservation campaign and its less polished, more giggly outtakes.
