1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,880
Speaker 1: From man who seems to have a lot of portfolios

2
00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:04,160
Speaker 1: that require a lot of change. Simian Brown strikes again.

3
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 1: This time aviation airlines are going to be required to

4
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 1: give monthly reports on flight delays and cancelations as well

5
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:12,039
Speaker 1: as the fares they're charging. Transport Minister Simmy and Brown

6
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:12,960
Speaker 1: with us good morning.

7
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 2: Good morning.

8
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:16,079
Speaker 1: As regards aviation, there several moving parts of this will

9
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 1: work our way through it. In general, how much does

10
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:19,480
Speaker 1: the sector need a shake up?

11
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 2: Oh, look, I think coming out of COVID, the sector

12
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 2: is needing a shakeup in terms of whether it's CIA

13
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 2: needing to be back on to on time performance. When

14
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 2: it comes to as fset qs certifying their clients. In

15
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 2: regards to aviation bodies who are trying to get licenses

16
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:39,480
Speaker 2: defy into business in New Zealand, I think it's getting

17
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 2: too hard. So we need them to be actually more

18
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 2: responsive to the needs of our industry. And also we

19
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:47,919
Speaker 2: need airlines to be making sure that they're actually operating

20
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 2: on time and there's more transparency around price. So yesterday's

21
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 2: announcements we're all around saying, look, we've come through COVID.

22
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 2: We know it's been tough, but actually aviation plays a

23
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 2: critical role in our economy and we need to get

24
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 2: competitive player and every single part of the industry needs

25
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 2: to be doing. It's a bit government and industry, so

26
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 2: sure we are a competitive country to do business with

27
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 2: and to grow the.

28
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 1: Secret All right, we'll get to the planes in a moment.

29
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: As regards the CIA, all their problems, their fees and culture,

30
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: are they.

31
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 2: Up to it. Well, we've replaced the board. We've put

32
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,399
Speaker 2: a new board in place with some red experienced people

33
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 2: there to help bride those outcomes around on time performance

34
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 2: for air seek, making sure that we have a much

35
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 2: faster certification time frames for aviation players in New Zealand,

36
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 2: and also to address some of those challenges that have

37
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 2: been in the media around culture. So new board, they've

38
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 2: got a very clear task as to what they need

39
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,119
Speaker 2: to do and they certainly up to it to make

40
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 2: those changes.

41
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: All right, the planes when they report and say that

42
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: that ex procedage didn't turn up on time, then what happens, Well,

43
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: obviously it's.

44
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 2: About public reporting. It's about providing transparency that we don't

45
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 2: have at this stage. So this is sort of what

46
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 2: we're doing at this stage, just saying, look, more transparency

47
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 2: We're not paying any anything further in beyond that at

48
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 2: this stage. But I think the first step is in

49
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 2: public want to see is what is the actual on

50
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 2: time performance of airlines in New Zealand. So that's what

51
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 2: the Ministry of Transport. They're already collecting the data. They're

52
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 2: going to be publishing the first report next month to

53
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 2: help provide that transparency and as I said, also looking

54
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 2: at getting greater transparency around airfares so the public can

55
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 2: actually understand what are the prices that people are paying now.

56
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: But once you've got that transparency and I tell you

57
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: it's too expensive and they're a crap airline, are we

58
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: going to do anything about it or just put up

59
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: with it?

60
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:34,959
Speaker 2: Well, I think then we can look at what other

61
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 2: options there are that we can look at that stage,

62
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 2: and Australia has been looking at this, United States has.

63
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:40,799
Speaker 2: But I think the first step which we've here is

64
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 2: that you when you start publishing that data. Many countries

65
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 2: have been doing this since the nineteen nineties and we

66
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 2: need to catch that all.

67
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: Right, appreciate it. Simy and Brown Aviation Aviation Minister, Transport
