Wellington Airport runway open after earthquake

Wellington Airport runway open after earthquake

The size of the earthquake this afternoon meant the airport needed to undertake a full runway and navigational aid inspection as part of standard operating procedure.

The runway was closed after the magnitude 6.2 earthquake at 2:31pm, and inspected and cleared for operation by 2:52pm. Some flights may have been cancelled or delayed during this period.

Please check with airlines or on the Wellington Airport website for flight information
