Some Positives in NZ

So it looks as though domestic flying will get the go ahead early in the transition to level two in NZ, this of course has to be good news. Lots of domestic tourism is being promoted and encouraged, how many kiwi’s will start flying again do we think? It seems to me that the perception of aircraft as Petrie dishes is the biggest hurdle, the Government have said that physical distancing will not be required onboard and our leading experts say that the epwearing or masks by passengers is all that is required to make it safe as evidenced by overseas samples. So how does that message get out. Yes I know lots of people are out of work etc but the fact is that most people have remained employed and working and their will be some pent up demand. How do airlines bring a bit of confidence back?
