A report on Radio New Zealand International says that two Polynesian Blue employees are facing drug charges for allegedly smuggling an illegal drug into New Zealand from Samoa.
The man and woman were arrested over a week ago.
The Samoa Observer reports Pacific Blue and Polynesian Blue Airline’s, Phil Boeyen, as saying the matter is before the courts.
He added that Polynesian Blue has a zero tolerance drug and alcohol policy and an investigation is underway.
Polynesian Blue is a joint venture airline of the Government of Samoa and Virgin Blue Airlines.
Earlier this year, a large number of Air Tahati Nui crew were alleged to have smuggled drugs from the USA into Tahiti.
