The police were asked to intervene after an angry confrontation between masked and unmasked passengers at Wellington Airport this morning.

All those flying domestically are required wear a face covering, and have either a negative covid test or a vaccine pass.

A police spokesperson says officers spoke with those involved and determined the ten unmasked people all had exemptions not to wear masks.

Daniel Neilsen was a passenger on the Jetstar flight and told Māni Dunlop what happened.
