Government backs fog clearing startup

The Government is backing a new startup offering a way to clear fog at airports. Christchurch-based company Pyper Vision is developing a spray that can absorb moisture from the air quickly, which could ease flight disruptions like the three day backlog Wellington Airport last week. The company is being assited by the Government's Airspace Integration Trials Programme, and has carried out 200 tests so far. Pyper Vision chief executive Emily Blythe spoke to Corin Dann.
