Where are the 757's when needed
John Key is frustrated that the one time the government needed some transport to get kiwis out of Thailand both 757's are in maintenance.
RNZAF says they can send a Herc but will probably take so long to get there the crisis will resolved before it does.
I don't know why NZ has an airforce which is a misnomer anyhow. The solution would be to pay Air NZ to have a suitable commercial aircraft available at short notice.
