Incidents
After the release of a damning coroner's report into Air Adventure's Piper Navajo crash near Christchurch International Airport on June 6, 2003, killing the pilot Michael Bannerman and seven Crop and Food Research staff, the Civil Aviation Authority underwent an urgent review by the office of the former Minister of Transport, Annette King, and resulted in the resignation of director John Jones.[4]
