Photo: Rafael Ben-Ari/Chameleons Eye/123RF A passenger on a plane struck by lightning on Friday evening has described hearing an almighty bang, and says it was a terrifying experience. Air New Zealand said NZ625 from Auckland to Queenstown was turned back for engineering checks as a precaution after lightning hit the plane shortly after departure. A woman on board, who did not want to be named, told RNZ the flight got off to a rough start. "It was actually one of the bumpiest departures I've had, and then there was a loud bang, very loud," she said. "Everyone just went quite quiet, well there was a lot of ... 'ooh, ooh, what was that?' "Just sort of sitting there in shock, and listening to see if there were any unusual noises of the engines, so it was ... a very nerve-wracking experience." About 15 minutes later, the pilot told passengers he had some bad news, she said. "That we'd been struck by lightning and ... they were waiting for the engineers to give them instructions," she said. The flight was turned back to Auckland and landed within half an hour, she said. Air New Zealand rebooked the woman on a Saturday morning flight, but she decided to cancel her weekend away. Southland MP Joseph Mooney said he was also on board, and posted on Facebook that the lightning strike was "quite the way to round out an eventful week". It made "quite a bang both audibly and visually," he said. Mooney hoped to return home on Saturday, with weather deteriorating in the south . The airline said lightning strike was "not uncommon". "Our pilots and crew are trained for this scenario," said chief pilot Captain David Morgan. "As a precautionary measure, the decision was made to return to Auckland to allow for a full engineering inspection. "This is standard procedure in such circumstances." Teams were booking passengers on the next available service , he said. Sign up for Ngā Pitopito Kōrero , a daily newsletter curated by our editors and delivered straight to your inbox every weekday.

New report shows growth in some regions despite tough first quarter for hospitality industry
Several regions posted standout results including Nelson with a near 17 percent year-on-year increase in revenue, followed by Queenstown-Lakes at 13 percent. Photo: 123RF The hospitality industry has had a tough start to the year, with flat national sales growth, rising operating costs and workforce shortages. The Restaurant Association's Hospitality Industry Report for the first quarter ended March indicates total sales rose just one percent to $4 billion over the year earlier. Sales were also down 5.9 percent on the fourth quarter of 2024, which included the busy festive and function season. "The summer trading period was softer than expected for many operators, and long-standing challenges like high fixed costs, wage pressure and staff shortages continue to weigh heavily," Restaurant Association chief executive Marisa Bidois said. "While inflation may be easing on paper, our members are still feeling significant cost strain on the ground." However, several regions posted standout results including Nelson with a near 17 percent year-on-year increase in revenue, followed by Queenstown-Lakes at 13 percent. On the flip side, Auckland saw marginal growth of just 0.4 percent and other regions, including Marlborough and Hawke's Bay, reported declines. "This data reinforces the fact that a one-size-fits-all recovery approach won't work," Bidois said. "Tailored, regionally responsive strategies are vital." She said staffing also remained a challenge, particularly for senior roles, with 72 percent of businesses reporting difficulty in filling those positions. While entry-level roles were becoming easier to fill, she said workforce shortages and visa processing delays continued to constrain growth for many. In response, she said the Restaurant Association was progressing at pace with the 65-point sector action plan, which had a particular focus on workforce development, business sustainability and long-term competitiveness. "Hospitality businesses aren't standing still - they're adapting, innovating, and working hard to stay viable," she said. "To unlock the next phase of growth, we'll continue working with government and our partners to progress our action plan and ensure the value our sector brings - culturally, socially, and economically - is fully recognised."
