Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has been forced to abort her visit to Hawke's Bay today with her flight unable to land due to poor weather.
Ardern was due to visit Hastings today alongside Housing Minister Megan Woods for a $192m Infrastructure Acceleration Fund announcement.
Following the announcement, they were dueto visit a first home buyer ahead of a media stand-up.
However, the plane the Prime Minister was on had to return to Wellington due to low cloud at Hawke's Bay Airport.
A spokeswoman for Air New Zealand said several flights into Hawke's Bay today had to be cancelled, returning to where they had departed from.
It is targeted to Lower Hutt, Nelson, Rangiora, Ngāruawāhia, Hastings, Motueka, Whanganui and Lake Hāwea.
Parliament is not sitting this week - known as a recess week - enabling MPs to travel around the country to visit electorates and make various announcements.
On Monday, Ardern visited a range of businesses in Christchurch.
On Tuesday, Ardern travelled to a dairy farm in Featherston to announce a world-first scheme to price agricultural emissions by 2025 as part of meeting New Zealand's climate-change commitments.
