Airlines have had another challenge thrown at them as our sole air traffic control provider hikes prices.
Airways are upping fees for commercial airlines by an average of 17.7% over the next three years.
However, it's acknowledged airlines are doing it tough and still recovering from Covid-19.
Air Chathams Chief Executive Duane Emeny told Ryan Bridge as a state-owned enterprise, the Government have some control over Airways' cost.
He says they could go to Airways and say they need to do better, as they shouldn't really be making a profit while airlines are suffering.
