Air New Zealand conference agenda

The Commerce Commission conference to gather information about Air New Zealand's application for authorisation to buy up to 50 percent of Ansett Holdings will be open to the media.

The conference is an opportunity for Air New Zealand and interested parties to provide further information and for the Commission to ask questions. It is not an adversarial process. Participants will not question or cross examine each other.

Participation is limited to the applicant and interested parties, but the public may observe and the media may report the conference.

During the confidential session, the room will be cleared of all people except the presenters and other parties' experts and legal counsel who have signed confidentiality orders.

Venue: 18 floor, IBM Tower, 171 Featherston Street, Wellington
