Fire and Emergency (FENZ) is on standby at Hawke's Bay Airport at the request of an inbound flight.
Shift manager Chris Dalton said three crews were at the airport as a precaution after an aircraft indicated a possible "situation on board".
He said larger airports had their own fire brigades, but in regional areas FENZ was called in to help.
Dalton said there had been no suggestion of an emergency, and the plan was to attempt a landing before 8am.
RNZ has contacted the airline.
