Lightning strikes have affected some of the critical
infrastructure at Christchurch International Airport
resulting in some flights being cancelled or diverted,
though the airport remains open.
Airways New Zealand's
General Manager People and Partnerships, Jamie Gray, says
technicians are inspecting the equipment and beginning
repairs.
Airways looks after air traffic throughout NZ; at control towers located at main trunk and regional airports; at NZ's military bases and in our two radar centres in Auckland and Christchurch. We work with government, regulatory authorities, airlines, airports and the general aviation community to ensure pilots, passengers and goods reach their destination - safely.
