Hey guys,
Thought I'd post this for anyone interested.
A passenger plane has crash landed at Blenheim airport this afternoon and all on board have got off safely. The Bombardier Dash-8 Q300 aircraft's nose wheel has collapsed but there is no other visible damage.
Airport manager Dean Heiford said no one was injured.
Air New Zealand confirmed that the Q300, operated by subsidiary Air Nelson, experienced a nose wheel failure after landing at Blenheim at 5:05pm.
Flight NZ8441, from Wellington to Nelson, had diverted to Blenheim due to poor weather in Nelson.
