First attempt: this might be Tengwar For English.
However, the little c-shaped glyph is not part of that spec.

Second attempt: this might be Sindarin or Quenya mode Tengwar.
This only works if we read the c-shaped glyph as a backwards numeral 0.

However, Beleriand-mode Tengwar actually features that c-glyph. With this assumption, and also expecting the double-strokes to correspond to capital letters and the tilde to introduce, Tengwar For English-style, a pre-consonant nasal, I make it:

Lend na Hnnor

Actually, michiexile was here first and I do believe he got it.

Also, Air New Zealand employs enormous geeks, but that we already knew from the livery thing ten years ago :).
