Dunedin Airport, in Momona, New Zealand, implemented a three-minute 'max hug time' in September to 'keep things moving smoothly,' airport CEO Dan De Bono told the Associated Press . The airport’s passenger drop-off area now has signs to remind travelers to have quicker farewells in an attempt to prevent traffic jams.
