Farewells banned at airport

A 3-minute hugging rule has been introduced for passengers saying their goodbyes at New Zealand's Dunedin Airport.

The newly introduced rule at the airport has sparked reactions in New Zealand. Due to traffic issues at Dunedin Airport, officials stated that they have limited the time for farewells to 3 minutes. It was noted that the sign hung at the airport's passenger drop-off area reads, “Maximum hug time 3 minutes. For longer farewells, please use the car park.” Dunedin Airport CEO Dan De Bono said, “We are trying to take a slightly fun approach. After all, this is an airport and these drop-off points are usually farewell areas, but staying for a long time causes some problems.”

While some users on social media reacted to the 3-minute hugging rule, others supported it. One user described the rule as 'inhumane'.
