A long goodbye hug an airport New Zealand could land you trouble. The international airport in Dunedin has set a three-minute limit the time people can spend hugging each other the drop-off zone. An airport official said the limit is so traffic can keep flowing. He said there has recently been a problem traffic jams near the departures building. The official said too many people were taking too long the drop-off zone front of the building. The airport now has warning signs that say: "Max hug time 3 minutes. fonder farewells, please use the car park." People who spend longer than three minutes saying their goodbyes could get a penalty. 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 accused breaching basic human rights." He added that another person said: "How dare we limit how long someone can have a hug." Someone the airport's Facebook page called the policy "inhumane". Mr De Bono defended the hug posters. He said: "Three minutes is plenty time to pull , say farewell to your loved ones and move . The time limit is really a nicer way of saying get with it." He added that airports were "hotbeds emotion" and that anything longer than a 20-second hug was "really awkward".
