Right now MIQ is a bigger risk to business than Covid-19 according to a leading entrepreneur who's detailed an alternative isolation plan in a bid to get businesses travelling again.
The boss of Animation Research, Sir Ian Taylor, believes companies can be trusted to manage their own strict home isolation freeing up spots in MIQ for other returning New Zealanders.
Sir Ian says companies have trimmed back but some overseas travel is essential to keeping business ticking over and he has been contacted by a list of business desperate for certainty around getting workers home.
He has written a series of open letters to the government laying out a blow by blow pilot trip that he would be the guinea pig for, but so far says he has had no real response from the government.
