Our air traffic management provider's signalling its own prices will soar, come July. 

Airways NZ's proposing a 7.7% price rise for airlines – a per seat increase of up to $2.80. 

Air New Zealand warns it could bring detrimental impacts, while the Aviation Industry Association struggles to see how it could be justified. 

Board of Airline Representatives Executive Director Cath O'Brien told Mike Hosking she's not a fan of the proposal. 

She acknowledges Airways have projects to invest in, but says it's the latest in a long list of price increases for airlines flying here.
