Air New Zealand CEO: Laptop ban would not have too much of an impact in New Zealand

7 June, 2017

Air New Zealand CEO Christopher Luxon stated he believes the proposed extended laptop ban would not have too much of an impact in New Zealand (Stuff, 07-Jun-2017). Speaking at the IATA AGM in Cancun, Mr Luxon stated he "was not sure exactly what problem the laptop ban was trying to solve, it is up to governments to work out what any threats were. The industry and passengers needed to be vigilant and aware of potential security threats, but the ban in its current state would not really affect New Zealand".
