They are picking up 111 pax in nan. Seems primary to me.

Air NZ publicly said they were doing it ahead of departure. NZ media has lots of stories of pax stranded in nz, Australia, the south Pacific islands and elsewhere that are struggling to get to their destination due to full flights. There were something like 30,000-40,000 pax on the diverted and...

Nz are doing this with jfk flight stopping off in nan to pick up pax disrupted by the akl flooding. Sq upgauged a flight to a380. There are many thousands of pax still trying to get to their destination, and with flights generally full it is proving difficult to clear.

For a moment I thought you'd done most of the 5th freedom flights in the article!

No. Latam left wlg for syd yesterday morning.

Yes and this extends to mixed qf/other airline itineraries. Several years ago my LA flight was delayed by about 16 hours forcing misconnects on qf, and also missing a flight on separate ticket on nz. Qf rebooked me to my final destination on the next available flight after arriving in...

https://www.stuff.co.nz/travel/131089051/auckland-airport-cancels-all-international-flights-due-to-extraordinary-weather Intl departures now closed to 5am tomorrow and intl arrivals until 7am tomorrow.

https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/threads/akl-airport-january-2023-terminal-flooding-flights-diverted.108063/ AKL reopens for intl departures 5pm (24 hour closure) and intl arrivals tomorrow 4am (36 hour closure). Lots of diversions yesterday.

Intl flights can depart from 5pm this afternoon, but arrivals only after 4am tomorrow. Thus today's intl departures will only be for a/c already at akl or are able to reposition without pax today.

AKL airport reopening for domestic flights this afternoon but closed for intl flights until tomorrow morning.

AKL closed until at least noon today. https://www.aucklandairport.co.nz/ Intl diversions to wlg, chc, syd, bne, rar, nan, lax, dxb, yvr, hnl, may be others. Dom diversions to wlg, chc, dud, hlz, trg, npl, may be others. Even if akl reopens this afternoon this will take several days to get...

AKL airport is closed due to flooding. No idea when it will reopen (hopefully not too long).

There was deep water outside that entered the building. Just runoff from the heavy rain. Numerous pictures and videos in nz media and social media.

Yes will cause days of disruption. Dozens of international and international flights diverted and cancelled. Apparently the runway lights were repaired after about 4 hours. Flooding in the terminal looks bad but not yet known what disruption once the water recedes. The airport has had about 2...

From the article "And last Thursday, another Qantas Boeing 747 bound for Fiji turned back to Sydney after it experienced a potential mechanical issue."

Just Q missing. Only Q, J, U, V, X, Y, Z have less than 5 airports. Other letters generally have many more airports. Australia 19 letters. NZ 16 letters. USA 16 letters. I've listed a few for NZ, Australia, USA, and some interesting other ones. AKL, AYQ, ABQ, ADE + more BHE, BEU, BDL, BOG +...

The morning bank of QF flights from SYD to NZ often has one at a remote stand. I think it is because they've towed an aircraft across from hangar or domestic. Cabin crew on a recent flight to SYD were complaining because the return flight they worked was at remote stand so much more difficult...

I missed out on the convair. When I flew to and from Chatham Island they used a metroliner. Of course flew that many times before with air nz too.

The longest I have spent onboard before takeoff was 4 hours on a SQ flight. We had aborted takeoff due to a door indicator light. They were confident it could easily be fixed so we went to a remote stand. Free-flowing Krug and served the first meal on the ground. Even restocked the Krug before...

Yes we got downgraded to QF82 in order to make the onward flight to WLG.
