The lingerie ad featuring Australia's former Miss Universe was declined by Auckland International
Airport, which felt it was a "step too far". "The bottom line is the airport has a vast array of people of different nationalities, different ages, and our
view was that it was just not in keeping with general airport image and brand," airport retail manager
Nick Forbes said. But Forbes, an Aussie, said it would be unfair to say the airport's management lacked a sense of humour.
"If you polled most of the people around our office they just had a good laugh and think it's great," he
said. "On a personal level I don't really have an issue and not many people probably do but we've got to try to
be sensitive." The airport had had billboards in the past that some people found inappropriate and management wanted
to tread carefully. The airport had declined "very little" advertising. "That one was maybe just one step too far," he said. Celebrity News Archive
