Irene King: Aviation Commentator discusses global Airbus A320 shutdown

from The Sunday Session with Francesca Rudkin · host Newstalk ZB

Major disruptions yesterday as airlines around the world had to ground their Airbus A320 aircraft.  Many travellers were left stranded after Airbus ordered immediate software fixes for 6000 of its A320s.  Aviation Commentator Irene King says that New Zealand is lucky to be a smaller country, as it means the delays won't last as long.  'The nice thing about being a small country is that we can recover pretty quickly from these sorts of disruptions.'
