Duane Emeny: Air Chathams CEO on the Government's funding push for small airlines

from Best of Business · host Newstalk ZB

There's relief for regional airlines, as they receive help to battle soaring costs. The Government's offering up to $30 million in loans from the Regional Infrastructure Fund.  It's also approved funding to allow digital upgrades to be made in order to integrate regional bookings with the platforms of major carriers. Air Chathams CEO Duane Emeny says this is good news for the sector. "We're looking to hopefully roll out a domestic trial later this year, but it's expensive, I can tell you, having gone through it. So any support that we can get for that is greatly appreciated."  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
