Some complex airline problems might be solved with another type of aircraft now operating in an Auckland warehouse.

Air New Zealand has teamed up with Spark, Ericsson and Canadian firm Cypher Robotics to deploy a robot-tethered drone.

Mark Beder, Spark New Zealand customer director for enterprise and government, says the size and height of the warehouse has presented challenges.

"It's about how they can do this more efficiently and more effectively over time."

GrabOne is getting a second life under brand new owners. 

Wellington's Paradigm Group has bought the GrabOne brand and assets.

It went into liquidation last October, leaving many consumers with vouchers they couldn't use. 

The new boss Paul Raeburn says they're bringing back half a dozen key GrabOne employees.

He says they're energised to get the platform back to what it was. 

"I stopped looking at GrabOne probably five or six years ago, because there wasn't anything I wanted to do there. We've got some real heat today - Cordis Hotels, Flamingo scooters, Holy Moly, all of those staples."
