Emergency services were placed on standby at Hawke’s Bay Airport on Friday morning after Air New Zealand flight NZ5025 from Auckland to Napier received a maintenance alert mid-flight.
Following standard procedures, three Fire and Emergency NZ crews were called as a precaution, though no emergency was declared.
The aircraft landed safely around 8am, and Air New Zealand confirmed that its maintenance team would inspect the plane before it returns to service.
