National carrier Air New Zealand Ltd. (AIR.NZ) grounded its
regional ATR fleet Sunday after hairline cracks were found around
the cockpit window in one aircraft during routine overnight
maintenance in Christchurch, on New Zealand's South Island.
All 11 aircraft in Air New Zealand's ATR-500 fleet, operated by
Mount Cook, will be inspected, Air New Zealand said in a statement.
By late afternoon Sunday, two planes were back in service after
meeting all operational standards. The final inspection is expected
to be completed later in the day. Air New Zealand said up to 3,000
passengers might be affected and alternative travel arrangements
are being put in place.
The aircraft have been in service with Mt Cook since 1999 and
have an average age of 10.9 years. The 68-seaters serve 10
destinations around New Zealand.
