At press time, Christchurch Airport was open and operational following yesterday afternoon’s 6.0 earthquake. “Our engineers have thoroughly checked both the runways and the
terminal and we’re pleased to report no damage to the runways and no structural damage to the terminals,” said CHC Airport’s CEO Jim Boult. Air New Zealand was working to clear
the backlog of its domestic flights which were delayed by the quake. Jetstar and Qantas flights were cancelled earlier in the day due to the volcanic ash in the atmosphere from the Chilean volcanic eruption. Emirates flight 418 from Sydney, Bangkok and Dubai was delayed for four hours and was due to arrive in Christchurch at 6.45pm last night. Passengers booked on flights are requested to check with their airlines before coming to the airport.

There is also a back-up emergency homepage for situations such as
