Boeing 737 makes emergency evacuation in Auckland
12 September 2006
Around 100 passengers and crew were evacuated safely from a Boeing passenger jet after it reported an electrical problem at Auckland airport today.
Air New Zealand said flight NZ503 from Auckland to Christchurch turned back after an electrical fault was reported on the flight deck.
The airline said as the Boeing 737 was taxiing to the airport gate, fumes were reported in the flight deck.
The captain decided to evacuate the aircraft and 94 passengers, three cabin crew and two pilots slid down the emergency chutes.
They were met by Air New Zealand staff and offered support, the airline said.
