Germanwings fallout: Air NZ joins global airlines on new cockpit rules

Wellington: Air New Zealand on Friday joined other global airlines in stipulating that two crew members would have to be present at all times in the cockpit, amid allegations that a co-pilot willfully crashed a passenger jet earlier this week, locking the pilot out of the cockpit.

Prosecutors indicated on Thursday that the co-pilot of Germanwings flight 4U 9525, en route from Barcelona in Spain to Dusseldorf in Germany on Tuesday, deliberately made the plane crash in the French Alps, killing all 150 people on board.
