Air New Zealand had to divert an Auckland to Tokyo flight via Brisbane to pick up a business delegation.
The group was travelling with New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon when they became stranded in Papua New Guinea.
The New Zealand Defence Force Boeing 757 was stopped in Port Moresby for a refuel and bilat when a fuse issue was identified.
The Prime Minister was forced to take the rest of the flight to Japan commercially.
The plane could still fly short distances, taking the business delegation to Brisbane.
It’s not the first time a plane drama has held up the Prime Minister earlier in the year he faced similar problems on the way to a summit in Australia.

This is the entire NZ defence asset.
Fk this is old news… keep up with the times Sky 😴
Come on man the 757 is the safest and best-designed aircraft Boeing ever made. Its only fault now is fuel burn. They need to maintain it better. Even brand-new planes break down.
I didn’t know NZ had a defence force
Far too many useless conventions for useless polititions to holiday on, instead of doing real work for those they represent.
It's a disgrace they were even going to another convention, let alone pushing ordinary people off flights as if what they're doing is more important & nobody else matters.
god has news for us. last warning maybe, and thanks for reading. Jesus Christ are lord and savior and son of god is returning at any day now. he will come in shout of the archangel saying your name and to come up here, with the trumpet blowing all across earth that can make a world wide earthquake. dead and alive will change to body like christ an rise to meet to lord to heaven, an being rapture ready simple an easy. 1. believe that Jesus died on the cross and spilled his own blood for your sins, was buried and rose on the third day from the dead in glory. 2. admit your a sinner and your need him to save you. 3. repent your sins on him and his blood and in faith and trust and believe in him to save you. also try in these last days to walk like christ, if you messed up or sin, don panic for your sins are payed by his blood. past, present, and future sins. his morals and ways are greater then are own and i asks you seek not sinning as possible to show god you care about him. his blood cleans you and forgives you of sins. Because as Scripture say. throw faith and grace you are save not by your own works yet anyone can boast. there be people left behind to face gods wraith and face the mark of the beast. were a person will have it on there right hand or forehead. it will be the only way to buy and sell anything. taking this mark is a unforgivable sin and forever dam to the second death. So if you stay behind don’t take the mark stay in faith to Jesus and resist cause they will chop your head off, let it happen if captured. For this time will be hell on earth. Lucifer will force you to take it. Do not accept it choose death. i pray you and many get saved and my fellow christians spread the word. Jesus loves us and nothing can separate us from him and faith and grace gets us saved. salvation and eternal life is a free gift from god nothing we earned or gained. Please it is important to spread this message to many. Jesus is your only way to avoid it. the signs are showing, more disasters and wars and suffering has increase dramatically. i pray to all see the true and believe.this is serious we may go any day now. Then are gonna get worst, soon even you will say "ok thats not normal". ask an he will help you. An keep your bibles safe they will guide you in grand tribulation and Lucifer will try to destroy them. once we leave there be ww3, attacks on Israel and must of major powers destroyed. For there be 21 wraiths on this earth 7 seals, 7 trumpets, and 7 bowels. that will make earth be hell on earth and most of the population would be dead so preparers you will not survived nor win against Lucifer. also there be two witnesses who will preach the news for the first half of the tribulation, kill by Lucifer and resurrected on the third day and rise back to heaven. there be disasters and plagues like rivers an oceans to blood, water turning bitter/poisonous and leads to some to death by wormwood astroid, scorpion with human like face and crowns will give those who have not accepted christ agonizing pain an people wont die when this plague happen for five months. scorch earth on the sun burns up earth, earthquakes tsunamis, will come on the earth and you be a hellish time to those left behind. an people who take the mark with have the worst punishing in the tribulation. At the end of the 7 year tribulation repeat at the end not during the tribulation. Jesus on his white horse wearing a white robes with garment in red saying lord of lords, king of kings and his saints (us christian who died and raptured) will charge and defeat Lucifer, his followers and unbelievers and he will be cast back to the pit and Jesus will rule us for 1000 year. then Lucifer will try again and god will stop him for good and he and his follower and people who are not in the lambs book will be cast into lake of fire/second death. then the new Jerusalem, earth, and heaven will come and god will dwell in us forever with no sin, pain, evil, suffer are all gone. You can be part of this if you trust in Jesus is blood and accept what he did. so do not fear for Jesus is with you if you believe what he did an his blood and claim him as your lord an savior. if you do this he will come to get you out of here and skip the 7 year tribulation. the bible says to know the season of the rapture and were in that season with ww3 near with both Russia and china plan to destroy america. Jesus wants you in heaven, it so wonder were there is no death, sickness, lost of lives one, no money or taxes, everthing is free. an al he want is for you to accept him as your lord, his blood, and gospel to be saved. he did all the work for you. god love us all an when you get a 30 minute nuke warning yiu can pray for that time to repent and accpet christ, his blood, and gosple an amet your a sinner. if you dont hear from me im raptured. were at critail lebeon will attack iserial maybe even nukes.
A very good aircraft is the boeing 757! Great looking plane, amazing runway performance esp on shorter runways and the largest narrow body pax plane, wish boeing would look at a max version!
New Zealand needs to abandon the west & join BRICS to strengthen its economy & thrive before it's too late, the west is getting isolated & sinking fast
Are they hunting forJacinda Adern, for crimes against humanity?
Gold😂🤣😂. NZ is making a complete fool of themselves on the international stage.
😂😂😂
Hey bro maybes the Afghan air force could sell you a new plane cuss
Bawawaa… aukus…..
Maybe they (we) need to invest in airplanes. Even when traveling in US I realize how OLD are planes are.
Port Moresby has serious security issues, possibly the most dangerous place I have ever been. The point is you don’t want to get off the airport property for any reason.
Typical kiwi, screw everyone else and look after yourself.
How many millions spent every year, and this happens, oof,SMH.
The New Zealand Defence Force is as weak as the Irish defense force. They are nothing more than a weak military with NO military power whatsoever
Why can’t they use commercial companies. Many airlines fly all over the world. A big plus is you don’t have to look after them.
NZ defense force what a joke 😂 they haven’t had tactical jets since 2000, they have zero medium level anti air capability in the Air Force or the Army. They have only 4 P8A that lack any anti ship missile capability as do their 2 lone Anzac corvettes. New Zealand is a classic case of what happens when you let liberals run the country. The day may come when NZ see China’s large fishing fleet fishing illegally in NZ waters backed up by a type 76 LHD, type 55 destroyer and few type 54A frigates to show NZ who the adult is in the neighborhood.
Were they trying to fuel it with solar power?
