Wellington airport now open after earthquake
The size of the earthquake this evening meant the Airport needed to undertake a full runway and navigational aid inspection as part of standard operating procedure.
The runway was inspected and cleared for operation by 5.55pm with a number of aircraft being able to operate shortly afterwards. All navigational aids were inspected and cleared by 7.30pm. Some flights were cancelled or delayed during this period.
Please check with airlines or on the Wellington Airport website for the current status of your flight.
