FFS, Wellington Airport again? Can never catch a break with that place.

but better safe than sorry. Fire can spread fast.

Hope everyone is safe. Smoke alarms going off is no joke.

Stranded and can't get luggage? That's a nightmare. Hope they sort it quickly.

Happened on my shift once. Protocol is a mess. They never have enough staff for evacuations properly.

nah, they're useless half the time.

Ruby Fraser2026-06-12T13:22:08.000Z

Exactly. They need to train staff better.

Why does this always happen on a Friday night? Right before uni exams too.

Ugh, had to cancel my trip to CHCH. Anyone know if there's rebooking happening?

Reagan Shaw2026-06-12T13:42:08.000Z

here, guess I'm stuck in WLG tonight.

Isla Cooper2026-06-12T13:57:08.000Z

lines are jammed. Try their social media maybe?

Stuff2026-06-12T13:47:08.000Z

Surely they could have handled this better. Communication has been crap.

you notice this fast once it hits everyday routines.. everyone's gonna dogpile the fire bit RNZ group chat is gonna go off. It usually comes down to whether it makes life easier or harder.

anyone working in this space has probably seen this coming. Execution is what will decide whether this helps.
