Statement
Government concerned for Air NZ & CAA staff on crashed Airbus
Transport Minister
Steven Joyce says the Government is getting regular updates,
and seeking briefings from officials, in the wake of the
A320 Airbus crash in France, near the border with
Spain.
"The Government is getting briefings from Air New Zealand and the Civil Aviation Authority.
"Obviously the New Zealand Government has grave concerns and is being updated on developments."
Mr Joyce says it is premature at this stage to comment on what shape any investigation might take, although he fully expects New Zealand agencies to play a part.
"But our thoughts right now are with the
families, friends, and colleagues of those who were on
board."
