“This isn’t a systems problem so much as a demand versus supply problem. Matthew Scott/Newsroom Joint head of MIQ Megan Main says there is no systems problem with MIQ, and demand is merely higher than the supply of rooms available. Main said the Ministry for Business, Innovation and Employment, which runs MIQ, was looking at options for the system's improvement. MIQ supply was limited to keep things safe, she said“We’ve got to keep the system safe; we don’t have unlimited capacity in MIQ. Although passengers on managed return flights from New South Wales will have a place in MIQ arranged for them, Main said this isn’t a realistic possibility for the wider MIQ system.
