The disruption comes after a night of chaos at Wellington Airport after a fire broke out in the domestic terminal.
Hundreds of people were left stranded after they were evacuated as emergency services battled the blaze.
Fire and Emergency New Zealand sent eight fire engines, two ladder trucks, one command unit and one breathing apparatus after reports machinery was on fire at 7.15pm.
Videos shared with the Herald show smoke billowing from the airport terminal and across the runway.
Multiple flights were affected and some travellers reported they were stuck on planes unable to disembark.
“It’s a newsworthy shambles here,” one person said.
Outside the terminal, ground staff announced that passengers would not be able to retrieve luggage.
Passengers were told to come back today to collect luggage that had been checked or left on a plane when the evacuations took place, RNZ reported.
In an update late last night, Wellington Airport said it would be open as usual today, “however there may be some flow-on disruptions to flights so passengers are advised to check directly with their airlines”.
Fire and Emergency will be investigating the cause of the fire.
