On Monday morning, Mike Hosking went off at Auckland Airport after arriving back in the country.

After his comments went viral, Auckland Airport CEO Adrian Littlewood appeared on the show to state his case.

Now, the Board of Airline Representatives New Zealand, representing 30 airlines and air services around the country, has released a statement backing up Hosking's complaints. 

They say they are "frustrated" at Auckland Airport, including long queues, high parking costs and leaking roofs that makes the airport "sub-standard." 

Singapore Airlines Regional Vice-President Philip Go has released a statement describing Auckland Airport as a "letdown" for their airline.
