Saw it on the news, I'm always interested on aviation reports, more interested when its a NZ happening too. Glad no one was hurt.

It was probably ZK-NGJ

almost disappointed it didn't crash with all those MP's on board

It is believed the replacement aircraft was delayed by negotiations with the Civil Aviation Authority over whether it was allowed to land at Ohakea.

bueraucracy strikes again! though Boeing won't be too impressed to see an Airbus bail them out of strife.
