Your interviewer is curious whether you could capably handle yourself if an in-flight emergency occurred. Air New Zealand expects their employees to exhibit strong problem-solving skills and wear a warm smile while keeping a cool head at all times. "If there's an emergency, passengers will rely on you to provide advice and instructions. You'll be called on to help people who may require assistance, such as the elderly, people with disabilities, children, infants and passengers who become unwell during the flight." Assure the interviewer that you are confident in your ability to handle an emergency professionally. If you are new to the industry and do not have the related training, be transparent about it, and comment on any other training you've completed which may prove relevant or helpful.

As I am new to a career in the airline industry, I have not received in-flight emergency training; however, I have taken emergency response training at the hospital where my wife, as a senior nurse, worked for.

Good! I like that you brought in some relevant training rather than just focusing on the training you do not have.
