Good Friday is one of the busiest days of the year for the airport.

An airport spokesperson said there was a processing error which delayed the baggage system by 15 minutes.

One passenger told RNZ the line for checking in bags was over 100 metres long.

The error has been fixed and the baggage processing is now on schedule.
