43106 (2025). Tangi Utikere to the Minister for State Owned Enterprises: Does a formal back-up system exist within Airways New Zealand’s operations to cover national air traffic control outages, and if so, was it activated during the outage in August 2025, and if not, why not?

Hon Simeon Brown: In response to both parts of the Member's question, I am advised, yes.
