      Where are you reading this? SQ website's flight status is not flagging anything.

          Seems like probaly SWN which flew the SQ285 has a tech problem of some sort as it seems to be still in AKL.

            Retiming and renumbering of flight SQ286/15 Aug from Auckland

            Flight SQ286, scheduled to depart Auckland at 1210hrs on 15 August, has been delayed due to technical reasons. It has been retimed to depart at 1400hrs on 16 August.

            The flight is estimated to arrive in Singapore at 2040hrs on 16 August.

            The flight number has also been changed, to SQ9286/16 August.

            We apologise for the inconvenience caused.

            *All times stated are local.

                Seems like a rather major tech fault with SWN.

                    Let's create a storm in the teacup by "linking" it to another 773 investigation (not even airline was specified) but then not bothering to check it was an SQ 773ER, an inconvenient fact that would prevent Auckland readers from being told they were a "secondary" destination, given the set of seven 773s don't even fly to Auckland on any regular basis. The truth would be that Auckland gets the same standard of craft as London, Frankfurt or Amsterdam does.

                    And over something smaller than an A4 page. You'd think from the title and hype that a plane with a floppy broken wing had just landed in the manner of a wounded seagull. Sorry Ms Bilby, your newspaper took over 2 weeks to realise such a disaster took place? Wow, it must have been serious!

                      The other incident she's referring to was an NZ domestic 737 WLG-AKL which lost cabin pressure. As you say, fantastic journalism.

                          Just in case you're interested, here is the article on stuff.co.nz (one of NZ's leading news websites, publisher of several newspapers) for that Air NZ incident on Friday morning: http://www.stuff.co.nz/travel/travel...cabin-pressure

                          Comparatively though, this piece of journalism is not that brilliant!

                            Ahh yes, you look at the companies that own the two respective "journalistic accounts" and it explains why they are chalk and cheese. Good to see Fairfax has some presence in NZ and can produce something that at least approximates "factual".
