"We know he's been a fan of New Zealand for some time and it's not the first time he's travelled with us.
"We hope to welcome him back on board again soon," the spokesperson said.
The airline declined to say where and when Hoffman had flown with Air NZ, citing privacy.
Hoffman also told the airline he would happily appear as the next famous actor on their safety video, he in fact demanded to be their spokesperson.
"Thank you Air New Zealand ... I will be your next spokesperson ... No ... no need to ask ... I'll just be it ... nope I insist!!!!" he said.
Hoffman visited New Zealand at the start of last year and during his stay, he even learned some of the lingo.
