A lifeline for regional airlines - will it mean for you?

From Afternoons, 1:15 pm today

The Government will provide up to $30 million in loans for struggling regional airlines as it intervenes with a "one-off" move to prevent more air routes from being cut. Carriers including Air Chathams and Sounds Air had been calling for a loan scheme for months amid a period of skyrocketing operating costs. Air Chathams Chief Executive Officer Duane Emeny explains what this will mean for regional airlines, and their passengers.
