Air N.Z. chief loses passport
PA Auckland The chairman of Air New Zealand, Mr R. A. Owens, received extra attention when he flew to Sydney on Wednesday morning. Mr Owens’s passport was mislaid in Auckland. He was on the Air New Zealand 747 aircraft about an hour out from Sydney when, according to a senior immigration official in Sydney, officials there were alerted that Mr Owens did not have his passport with him. Air New Zealand’s public affairs director. Mr Craig
Saxton, said that Mr Owens had his passport with him when he went through checkin procedures at Auckland. He then banded a lot of documents to his-son and the passport was inadvertently included with them. The airline was able to obtain a provisional passport for Mr Owens because he had already been " checked through, said Mr Saxton. Mr Owens’s passport was sent to him in Sydney yesterday afternoon. It was thg “same sort of thing we would do for anybody,” Mr Saxton said.
