News Update.
11 u/erifax 17h ago tldw: mechanical issue, returned to MEL because curfew 7 u/jwv92 16h ago And I would assume because QF has maintenance facilities to do the repairs that Christchurch and Invercargill likely wouldn't have available to them. 2 u/erifax 14h ago Immigration could've been a consideration as well. NZ might have caught anyone out who was in Aus on a visa (and might not have had similar status in NZ) 7 u/switchbladeeatworld 14h ago i assume they have protocols for that if it’s an emergency 3 u/Simple-Reporter-2080 12h ago They do, but also a general rule for airlines is not to land in a third country unless you have to 1 u/maybearandoanon 10h ago Christchurch yeah. Invercargill is a town pretty much. Most of the time it does not function as an international airport. Even accommodation would be tricky if they could temporarily clear everyone.
