Wellington Airport Evacuation Chaos

Late Friday night, Wellington Airport went into full lockdown as a smoke alarm triggered a chaotic evacuation — no injuries reported, but flights grounded and travelers stranded. Fire crews raced to contain a mysterious fire, possibly from machinery, which set off sprinklers and sent smoke billowing. Passengers were rushed to the car park amid confusion and lack of updates. Air New Zealand is offering free flight changes, but frustration mounts as delays ripple through regional carriers — and Jetstar remains unaffected. Stay tuned for official updates as operations slowly return to normal. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
