An Air New Zealand Airbus A320neo aircraft diverted to Auckland due to an in-flight engine issue.

The incident occurred on December 1, 2024, involving an Airbus A320-271N, registered as ZK-NHA, operating a scheduled passenger flight NZ249 between Wellington (WLG) and Sydney (SYD).

According to data from FlightRadar24.com, the plane departed Wellington Airport at 2:30 a.m. (UTC) and was scheduled to arrive at Sydney Airport approximately 3 hours and 40 minutes later. However, flight tracking data showed a sharp deviation from the original course shortly after takeoff. About an hour into the flight, the aircraft encountered a technical engine problem, forcing the crew to shut down one of the engines and divert to Auckland (AKL).
