Dunedin Airport in New Zealand has imposed a three-minute limit on hugs in its drop-off zone. The rule, announced on September 26, advises passengers to use the carpark for longer farewells. Dunedin Airport CEO Daniel De Bono defended the time limit in an interview with RNZ radio. He called airports "hotbeds of emotion" and referred to a study that suggested that a 20-second hug is long enough to release oxytocin, the "love hormone."
