Christmas flight delays expected
PA Auckland Rescheduled and delayed flights can be expected at Christmas because air traffic controllers at Auckland Airport say they can not keep up with increasing work. A severe shortage of controllers and increase in holiday air traffic meant controllers were handling three times
