It seems a QF plane (assume a 738) had brake problems whilst taxiing after landing at AKL and blocked the taxiway. A CX flight (assuming CX197 which usually is a 340) had to divert to RNZAF Ohakea. Will make for great plane spotting for anybody near Foxton. I am guessing that the only other diversion for a 340 would be CHC. Would they carry enough juice for SYD/BNE?
