An Air New Zealand Boeing 737 plane with 102 passengers on board made an emergency landing at Wellington Airport today after a bird hit shortly after take-off. The Fire Service was alerted after the pilot reported an engine had shut down. The plane, however, landed safely. Air New Zealand said bird hit was behind engine trouble on the passenger jet. Engineers were inspecting the plane and the passengers have been transferred to another aircraft to continue their journey, an airline spokeswoman said.
