WELLINGTON, May 27 (Xinhua) The New Zealand government has awarded a new round of airline support contracts through to the end of October 2021 to help keep the country connected internationally and positioned for recovery, Transport Minister Michael Wood said on Thursday.
The government moved quickly to keep critical trade flowing at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic to support economic recovery, Wood said in a statement.
The previous International Airfreight Capacity scheme was restructured in March this year to focus on staying connected with international partners and the economic recovery. It allows support levels to reduce as passenger numbers rise, he said.
