Donald apologises to Akld Airport
Green Co-Leader Rod Donald has apologised to Auckland International Airport Limited for suggesting its pursuit of profit
had caused delays to travellers this morning.
"I incorrectly stated that the faulty back-up runway generators were owned by AIAL, when in fact they're owned by the
state-owned Airways Corporation. I apologise to AIAL for my mistake.
"However, I am now calling on SOEs Minister Paul Swain to investigate whether a greater part of the Government's cut of
AIAL's profits should be spent on basic maintenance at the airport."
