Terrifying for passengers, thank goodness everyone is safe!

Air NZ always putting on a show. Bet it was just someone's vape.

Isla Cooper2026-07-04T04:46:54.000Z

the emergency response was appropriate. smoke smell is taken seriously for good reason

Kai Thompson2026-07-04T04:56:54.000Z

ffs typical air nz, my mate had a similar thing happen last year. need better maintenance checks

Quinn Murphy2026-07-04T05:14:54.000Z

Wonder if they'll actually tell us what caused it or give some vague 'electrical fault' line...

Casey Adams2026-07-04T06:08:54.000Z

yeah nah I get it, but still feels like every other month there's a 'smoke scare' on air nz

As someone studying aviation safety, this is a reminder that protocols work. But yeah, they need to get to the bottom of it.

safe than sorry, imagine if they ignored it and something happened

Finn Walker2026-07-04T05:53:54.000Z

Poor people on that flight, must have been so stressful. Hope Air NZ looks after them properly.

Kai Thompson2026-07-04T06:06:54.000Z

Mate I bet they had to wait hours for a replacement plane too. classic air nz

Kai Thompson2026-07-04T06:49:54.000Z

they don't get compensated though. airlines never pay out unless you kick up a fuss
