The Army Bomb Disposal Unit has examined a quarantined plane at Christchurch Airport and determined the white powder to
be an innocuous substance.
At 11.44am Police were advised that white powder was found on some bags in an Air New Zealand A320 plane while it was
being offloaded at Christchurch airport. Passengers were taken off the aircraft as a precaution and cordons were put in
place. Shortly after 12.30pm specialists determined that the white powder poses no threat.
The domestic terminal is fully open however if you are travelling today please check the latest flight information on
