Aer Lingus Lost Their #AirlineChallenge With Air New Zealand

There was some serious banter between Aer Lingus and Air New Zealand earlier on during the week.

Kia ora, @FlyAirNZ! Chicago had nothing to do with luck and everything to do with good prep! We’re ready! #AirlineChallenge

And then this deal came about...

And seeing as Ireland lost yesterday...

Aer Lingus stuck to their word, like the good sports that they are, donning the All Blacks' colours:

Congratulations @FlyAirNZ and @AllBlacks. A deal is a deal. #AirlineChallenge #IREvNZ pic.twitter.com/a6HcvQxwrH

"A deal is a deal."

Fair play.
