Several flights into Christchurch have been delayed by several hours.
A Jetstar spokesperson said crewing and technical issues have affected the network, resulting in rolling delays.

"We fully understand and empathise with our customers either hoping to get home to their families or travelling with their loved ones for Christmas. Safety is always our number priority, as our teams on the ground are working extra hard to get our customers to their destinations," the spokesperson said.
