Wild storm in New Zealand disrupts flights thousands without power

Most flights in and out of Wellington, the nation’s capital, were cancelled or delayed on Monday morning, the airport said. Air New Zealand paused operations at Wellington, Napier and Palmerston North airports, media reported. More than 30,000 properties were without power, including about 10,000 customers in Wellington, authorities said. Motorists across the Wellington region have been urged to stay off the roads, while several schools were closed as emergency crews responded to widespread damage. “We had a very busy night, and our firefighters are continuing to respond to calls,” Emergency New Zealand Assistant National Commander Ken Cooper said. 🔗 Leggi su Internazionale.it
