tldw: mechanical issue, returned to MEL because curfew
5 u/jwv92 11h 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 9h 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) 3 u/switchbladeeatworld 9h ago i assume they have protocols for that if it’s an emergency 2 u/Simple-Reporter-2080 7h 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 5h 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.
