New Zealand airport bans three-minute hugs

A long goodbye hug at an airport in New Zealand could you in trouble. The international airport in Dunedin has set a three-minute limit on the time people can spend hugging each at the drop-off zone. An airport official said the limit is so traffic can keep flowing. He said there has been a problem of traffic jams near the departures building. The official said too many people were too long in the drop-off zone in front of the building. The airport now has warning signs that say: "Max hug time 3 minutes. For fonder farewells, please use the car park." People who spend longer than three minutes saying their goodbyes could get a . They could get a fine or get their wheels clamped.

The airport's new hugging policy is not popular everybody. CEO Daniel De Bono told local reporters that he has received many complaints. He said: "We were of breaching basic human rights." He added that another person said: "How dare we limit how long someone can have a hug." Someone on the airport's Facebook page called the policy "inhumane". Mr De Bono defended the hug posters. He said: "Three minutes is of time to pull up, say farewell to your loved ones and move on. The time limit is really a nicer of saying get on with it." He added that airports were "hotbeds of emotion" and that anything longer a 20-second hug was "really awkward".
