Queenstown airport boss to chair the NZ Olympic Committee - from the high seas

Former Olympic sailor Glen Sowry has by general consensus done a very good job changing Queenstown airport from being virtually public enemy number 1 to a place that we all appreciate and may even be proud of.

So how did he engineer a new culture and create such a strong social licence? And how is he going to Chair the all important NZ Olympic Committee while at the same time as sailing around the world in his brand new yacht?

Mr Sowry also talks about the challenges of Queenstown infrastructure, how to avoid over-tourism, birds at the airport and how we should treat our local Olympic gold medallists.
