Fire and Emergency were called to Hawke’s Bay Airport after an alert was put out about a small plane.<\/p>\n

A police spokesperson told RNZ during landing the plane nose landing gear appeared to be damaged.<\/p>\n

Seven fire trucks, two tankers and a command unit were called to the scene just after 10am on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Crews were stood down after the plane landed safely, FENZ said, with crews assisting in cleaning up a small fuel leak.<\/p>\n

Hato Hone St John was also notified of the incident.<\/p>\n

Two ambulances and one helicopter responded, but had since been stood down, a spokesperson said.<\/p>\n

The airport was temporarily closed, with the Civil Aviation Authority taking over the site, an airport spokesperson said.<\/p>\n

It has since been reopened.<\/p>\n
