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

Air Chathams Chief Executive Officer Duane Emeny explains what this will mean for regional airlines, and their passengers.
