THERE was more hot air than usual at a media onference on Fri afternoon, when Destination NSW hosted China Southern Airlines ceo Tan Wang’eng (p1).
CZ’s Sydney Festival five year sponsorship was nnounced in a room decorated using a number of blow-up CZ A380s. But in the lead-up to the briefing a pump used for the inflatable aircraft failed, so some of the DNSW team had to take some very deep breaths to pitch in and keep the show on the road. That probably explained the red faces when the CZ delegation walked in – but all ended well as evidenced by the pic below where Mr Tan is holding one of the planes along with DNSW ceo Sandra Chipchase and Josephine Ridge,
Sydney Festival exec director.
