Christchurch Airport Reopens
Christchurch Airport has re-opened following the 5.3 earthquake earlier in the evening. The airport closed for two hours following the aftershock in order to do careful checks of the runway.
Four trans-Tasman flights were diverted to Auckland during this time.
Two of those flights will return to Christchurch in the next couple of hours: Jetstar's JQ191 from Gold Coast is due to arrive at 3.20am and Pacific Blue's DJ82 from Brisbane is due to arrive back in Christchurch at 3.50am.
Passengers from the two Air NZ flights which diverted to Auckland, NZ888 from Sydney and NZ 804 from Brisbane, will be transferred to domestic flights to Christchurch in the morning.
