A 13 year old Dunedin boy has launched a campaign to bring back direct, international flights to the city.

The flights haven't been reinstated since borders re-opened and it seems young Benjamin Paterson isn't the only one who wants them back.

So far he has gathered 3,500 signatures.

The Year 9 Taieri College student, and wannabe pilot speaks to Lisa Owen.
