Inside the chaos at Auckland Airport and the other concerns facing travellers

Auckland Airport has hit another bottle neck. Thousands are facing delays and long queues after having to cram into the airport in order to take to the sky during the school holidays.  The frustrations are hitting boiling point, with Herald readers calling the airport an “absolute zoo” and questioning how it is that our largest airport can struggle so much.  It comes at a time when travellers are already struggling with persistently high airfares.  What’s behind these delays? And are there any plans in the works to ensure that this pressure is alleviated in the future?  Today, NZ Herald business deputy editor Grant Bradley joins Damien to discuss the slow trudge travellers face getting on to their planes and the other issues impacting travel.
