The captain chose to land at Invercargill Airport on one engine, where well-drilled emergency response teams were on hand. But initially, when that plane touches down, it’s the fire service that was in charge of it, Mr Harris said.

However, it still had the whole team turn out with Fenz, police and everybody," Mr Harris said.
