Passengers say they were stuck on a sweltering plane for hours after their flight was diverted last week. The Qantas flight landed at a military base in New Zealand after suffering from mechanical issues. Passengers on the plane were told the flight was diverted because one of the plane’s flaps was stuck, news.com.au reported. The plane landed at RNZAF Base Ohakea, which is about 86 miles north of Wellington.
