Passengers on an Air New Zealand flight to Dunedin had to disembark the aircraft and have their luggage searched yesterday after a threat was made by phone, police say.
An animal rights group that produced undercover footage of alleged abuse of sheep in New Zealand during shearing says the operation was not about finding a few alarming incidents.
An Air NZ flight to Dunedin has been cancelled and "anxious passengers" told to disembark from the plane in Auckland due to a "serious" security concern.
