The Jetstar flight from Dunedin to Auckland was due to depart at 4.30pm yesterday, but was cancelled because of engineering problems.
It was rescheduled to 1pm today, and after a 30 minute delay, finally left.
A Jetstar spokesman said the 124 passengers had the choice of accommodation for the night or a refund.
An Air New Zealand flight out of the city to Christchurch, due to leave at 8pm, was also cancelled last night for the same reason.
A spokeswoman for that airline said the 36 passengers were all rebooked on other flights.
