http://www.stuff.co.nz/travel/travel-troubles/79624860/air-new-zealand-passenger-scare-when-flight-from-invercargill-diverted-for-refueling

And why is there is a picture of a 737??? They are gone from the fleet and they haven't flown to Invercargill for years

  1. Oh that just really annoys me! That's not even an article. The author and interviewed passenger are making a big deal out of absolutely nothing!!!!!!

  2. It's incomprehensible such drivel can be manufactured by the media and how a complete non event can be totally skewed with utter nonsense! Such is the world we now live in - the communication age - what a pain in the rear it is.

  5. The Herald is no better - try this February 2016 Nelson disrupt story:http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11586556

    Perhaps the burning smell was the tires?

  7. I like how she asked the flight attendant how much fuel was in the aircraft... like should would be able to comprehend the answer.

  8. My reply was:

    "she was boarding the 10.50am flight from Invercargill to Christchurch on Wednesday when passengers were told the plane would have to stop in Dunedin to refuel"

    Misleading headline. Should have read "Plane had sufficient fuel for amended flight plan"

    JaseNZ:
    Stuff is making it sound like they were airbourne and didn't realise until then they didn't have enough fuel to get to CHC when they had already filed to go via DUD and collect some at the time of boarding, not departure
