  10月1日交通部消息,政府为灰复航空提供支持扩展跑道。

运输部长迈克尔·伍德(Michael Wood )今天宣布,政府支持国际航空业维持国际客运服务,保持与重要贸易伙伴的联系,并支持经济复苏。迈克尔·伍德说:”维护国际航空连接(MIAC) 计划原定于 2021 年 10 月 31 日结束,但我们已将其延长至 2022 年 3 月 31 日,以帮助应对夏季货运旺季的需求。延长MIAC计划为我们提供了定期的国际航空服务,为乘客和货运服务,也保护了我们与疫苗和药品等重要供应品的联系。它确保我们有能力让我们的企业进入国际市场,支持我们的复苏。
  自2020 年5月以来,政府临时支持使 8,800多个航班,载运了超过 169,000 吨的空运,价值约 135 亿纽币。在同一时期,有近85000人搭乘支助航班返回新西兰,占通过MIQ设施的总人数的45%。 
  当大流行开始时,新西兰可能切断了飞往世界其他地区的常规航空服务。即使是现在,进入新西兰的客运航班数量也只是COVID前水平的四分之一,而且其中许多飞机载客量很少,这表明MIAC对于我们目前保持联系是多么重要。
  特马纳特瓦卡交通部正与航空公司合作,确认将在夏季支持的航线和服务。我预计,MIAC 延期服务的确切时间表将在未来几周内敲定。
今后,随着新西兰人重新连接战略的实施和边境限制开始放松,我们将减少我们提供的支持水平。我们期望能够结束该计划,并开始研究如何以提供确定性并确保关键货运继续流动的方式实现这一转变”交通部长说。
  “有关MIAC计划的更多信息,请在交通部网站上找到,出口商应联系其通常的货运代理。MIAC计划最初预算为2021年5月1日至10月31日的1.7亿纽币。在提供延期时,政府同意再提供1.95亿纽币,以支持2021年11月1日至2022年3月31日的航班。另外拨款2500万纽币,以确保在暂停时与我们有免检疫旅行的国家保持连通性。
 

1 October 2021,Aviation support extension provides runway for recovery
 
The Government has extended support for the international aviation sector to maintain international passenger services, remain connected with important trade partners and support the economic recovery, Transport Minister Michael Wood announced today. 
 
“The Maintaining International Air Connectivity (MIAC) scheme was due to end on 31 October 2021, but we have extended it to 31 March 2022 to help with demand over the peak summer cargo season,” Michael Wood said. 
 
“Extending the MIAC scheme gives us regular international air services for passengers and freight, and also protects our links to critical supplies like vaccines and medicines. It ensures we have the capability required for our businesses to tap into international markets and support our recovery.
 
“Since May 2020, temporary Government support has enabled more than 8,800 flights carrying over 169,000 tonnes of airfreight worth around $13.5 billion. During the same period, nearly 85,000 people have returned to New Zealand on supported flights – 45 per cent of the total number of people to pass through MIQ facilities.  
 
“When the pandemic first began, New Zealand could have been cut off from regular air services to the rest of the world. Even now, the number of passenger flights into New Zealand is only a quarter of its pre-COVID levels and many of those planes carry very few passengers, which shows how critical MIAC is for keeping us connected currently.
 
“Te Manatū Waka Ministry of Transport is working with airlines to confirm the routes and services which will be supported over summer. I expect the exact schedule of services under the MIAC extension will be finalised over the coming weeks.
 
“Going forward, we will reduce the level of support we provide as the Reconnecting New Zealanders strategy is implemented and border restrictions begin to ease. We expect to be able to wind down the scheme and are beginning work on how we will make this transition in a way that provides certainty and ensures that critical freight continues to flow,” Michael Wood said.
 
More information on the MIAC scheme can be found on the Ministry of Transport website and exporters should contact their usual freight forwarder.
 
Support from the MIAC scheme was originally budgeted at $170 million for 1 May to 31 October 2021. In providing the extension, the Government has agreed to an additional $195 million to support flights from 1 November 2021 to 31 March 2022. There is an additional $25 million allocated to ensure that connectivity is maintained with countries we have quarantine-free travel if there are pauses or suspensions.
