You cannot embrace anyone for more than three minutes at the airport. Rules have changed to visit the airport, leave people, deal with each other. The deadline for embracing loved ones has been fixed at the Dunedin International Airport in New Zealand while saying goodbye. The deadline for hugging in the drop-off area here is three minutes. If a person hugs for longer than this limit, the airport staff will take immediate action. This rule has been implemented to maintain passenger flow and security.
What is the rule?
The time of hugging in a drop-off zone at Dunedin Airport has been limited to three minutes. The reason behind this rule is that people do not stay here for long, so that there is no problem in the movement of passengers. A time limit has been set to ensure that there is no shortage of space for other passengers in this area. If someone violates this rule, then he can also be fined.
Why was the embrace time limit made?
This rule has been made so that unnecessary crowds do not increase in the drop-off zone and traffic continues smoothly there. Saying goodbye for a long time, the crowd was increasing and there was less space for other passengers. Now with this rule, all the passengers will get a chance to say goodbye to their loved ones and no one will have any inconvenience.
Causes of rules
Airport management says that according to scientific research, a 20 -second hug is enough to release oxytocin hormone, which makes the person feel relaxed and happy. After this, you may feel uncomfortable in hugging for a long time. Tourists visiting the airport get emotional while leaving their family or friends, but it is a public place where all passengers have to wait for their turn. Therefore, this rule was made so that the place is not wasted due to much time.
