May get to the stage where NZ Government, just cant afford to keep Air NZ afloat anymore and just has to accept Qantas as an ANZAC carrier. Deep pockets maybe, but just how deep, that is the question.
Just depends how deep the resurgence of Covid happens when the 1200 or so NZ Residents/Citizens come back from India.
Apparently its better for NZ if we take back people already infected with COVID from other countries, because it doesnt add to our count, but adds to the country they arrive from. This could be a real disaster that never makes the stats.
