Wellington taxi driver: Anonymous driver on the five drivers suspended after using parents’ room to heat dinners

Description

Wellington Airport has suspended five taxi drivers from using its taxi rank after they used the parents’ room to heat their dinners.

The airport contacted the taxi companies two months ago to warn against drivers using the parents’ room for privacy and hygiene reasons - but this was not passed on to all taxi staff.

One anonymous driver who avoided suspension has labelled this move 'unreasonable' 

"I did it after asking two of the food officials in airport uniform if we could heat the food in the microwave in the parents' room and they happily said they didn't mind as long as we cleaned up after."
