Dear CAA

I already send above queries to Air NZ and did not receive any reply. These above information is requested from Air NZ because Air NZ is liable for many responsibilities to their customers and it's for safety of passengers.

Concealing above information by Air NZ means they are a threat as per my experience with Air NZ. How it's a threat it will be fully explicit when Air NZ answers the above questions.

If Air NZ not likely to reply then it will be going to media for their reply.

Above request is clear and precise for Air NZ to answer.

Yours sincerely,

RAJ NATH
