Is NZ's stuttering travel industry ready to bounce back?

Category: News & Politics

Description:

Covid restrictions have been removed, the borders have been opened, and Kiwis can take flights overseas with no worries about restrictions.  

The news is timely for Air New Zealand, which this week launches its direct route to New York, giving New Zealanders the quickest option yet to get to the east coast of the United States. 

But, after years of closed borders and limited flights, has the travel industry really bounced back? Are people ready for long-haul international flights again – or do airlines need to work on new incentives, and cheaper tickets, to get them back on board? 
 
Today, Damien is joined by NZ Herald aviation reporter Grant Bradley to discuss how the travel industry is preparing to take flight once again.
