A full-scale emergency at Wellington Airport is over after an Air New Zealand passenger jet - reportedly with fumes in the cabin - landed safely this morning.
A third alarm situation was called about 7.45am after reports of smoke on the Christchurch-Wellington flight.
Six fire crews were initially called to the airport as a result, before several other fire engines from around the Wellington region were all sent to the scene because of the potential danger.
An Air New Zealand spokeswoman said flight NZ5330 from Christchurch to Wellington landed safely in Wellington around 8am after the pilots were alerted to fumes in the cabin.
