Air traffic control fault disrupts multiple trans-Tasman flights
Passengers on NZ271 were told Oceania airspace was closed. Photo: Flight Radar An air traffic control outage has disrupted multiple trans-Tasman flights on Saturday night, with an investigation now underway. Multiple Australia-bound flights were forced into a holding pattern, with some diverted back to New Zealand. Flight Radar showed at least one Air New Zealand flight to Brisbane had looped back and was in a holding pattern above the capital. Airways New Zealand chief executive James Young said the organisation's main oceanic air traffic control system experienced a "disruption", which temporarily impacted air traffic services operating across the Tasman. "New Zealand's oceanic airspace covers a large area across the Pacific Ocean and Tasman Sea. The oceanic air traffic control system is the system Airways uses to manage aircraft flying to and from New Zealand across this airspace. "At 4.30pm, the main oceanic air traffic control system experienced an outage and operations were switched to a back-up system. During this time, flight plans for the Tasman sector were unable to be processed through the system, causing delays. "As a result of this, five flights were held in the air, three of which were diverted back to New Zealand after holding for around 40 minutes, with the remaining two flights proceeding to their destination after holding. Flights were also held on the ground in both Australia and New Zealand during this time, he said." The main system was restored at 5.05pm, and normal operations had resumed by 5.30pm, he said. A full technical review is now underway. "Our main priority is the safety of the travelling public and we apologise to all customers and their passengers who were affected," he said. Air New Zealand has been contacted for comment.

Minister To Visit Saudi Arabia & United States For Trade Talks
Agriculture, Trade and Investment Minister Todd McClay will travel to Saudi Arabia and then to the United States (US) next week to meet with his trade and agriculture counterparts. In Riyadh, Mr McClay will meet with Minister of Commerce, HE Dr Majid bin Abdullah Al-Kassabi, and Minister of Environment, Water and Agriculture, HE Eng Abdulrahman Abdulmohsen Al-Fadley, to advance bilateral trade and investment opportunities, including in food and agritech cooperation. The visit will also be an opportunity discuss how best to leverage the New Zealand-Gulf Cooperation Council Free Trade Agreement, for which negotiations concluded last year. Mr McClay will then travel on to Washington D.C. at the invitation of United States Trade Representative (USTR) Jamieson Greer. He will also meet with U.S. industry representatives, think tanks, and his agriculture counterpart, Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins. 'Following the United States' 1 August decision to apply a 15 per cent, or more, tariff to ever country with a trade surplus, this visit will be an opportunity to discuss the impact of that decision and better understand the factors that may influence future U.S. tariffs,' Mr McClay says. 'New Zealand and the United States have a long-standing, well-balanced trading relationship, with periods where the US has enjoyed a surplus and times, like now, when New Zealand has a modest one. Overall, our trade is complementary and reflects the strength of a long-standing partnership. 'I will be seeking to understand the effect of any change in trade flows for example, if New Zealand's current surplus shifted to a deficit, and what that might mean for our exporters,' Mr McClay says. 'The US currently faces an average tariff of just 0.3 per cent when exporting to New Zealand, far lower than what we face into their market. 'It's important that we raise these concerns constructively, while reaffirming our commitment to the strong, cooperative relationship we have with the United States,' Mr McClay says. Meetings in Washington will cover wider bilateral trade, investment and agricultural priorities.
