Christchurch Airport is now open and operational
Christchurch Airport is now open and operational following this afternoon’s 6.0 earthquake. “Our engineers have thoroughly checked both the runways and the terminal and we’re pleased to report no damage to the runways and no structural damage to the terminals,” said Christchurch Airport’s CEO Jim Boult.
Flights have now resumed and airlines are working to clear the backlog. Passengers booked on flights are requested to check with their airlines before coming to the airport.
Jetstar and Qantas flights were cancelled earlier in the day due to the volcanic ash in the atmosphere from the Chilean volcanic eruption.
