James Meager: Associate Transport Minister on the jet fuel situation. Jetstar cutting NZ flights

from Early Edition with Ryan Bridge · host Newstalk ZB

Rising jet fuel prices are continuing to cause flight cancellations, but the Government is confident we still have steady supply coming into the country.  Jetstar has now followed Air New Zealand in scaling back both domestic and international flights.  Associate Transport Minister James Meager says there's 43-days worth of jet fuel either onshore, or on its way.  He told Ryan Bridge there's no need for anyone to panic.  Meager says we normally like to have about 50 days on fuel on hand, but there's nothing to indicate the orders we've placed aren't on the way.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
