The Government is seeking reassurance from the Civil Aviation Authority following revelations Air New Zealand staff have been convicted for drink-driving.
An internal police memo written by a senior officer and released recently identified four cases within 12 months in which Air New Zealand staff were caught over the blood-alcohol limit on their way to work.
Associate Transport Minister Nathan Guy has requested a report from the authority to ensure their systems are thorough and robust, but says he has no concerns about public safety.
Mr Guy says he won't comment on the individual cases, but is reassured that Air New Zealand has a comprehensive alcohol and drug policy and makes pilots undergo random testing.
The authority is due to complete its report in the next couple of days.
