Jetstar has apologised for pre-Christmas flight delays that have left some holidaymakers stranded.
A flight from Auckland to Palmerston North was cancelled, and services between Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch have been delayed.
A Jetstar spokesperson has apologised for the delays, claiming a "series of crewing and technical issues" were behind the disruptions.
"The seriousness of the technical issue meant that replacement parts for the aircraft had to be flown in, but our engineers on the ground are currently doing their best to get the aircraft on its way once again.
"We fully understand and empathise with our customers either hoping to get home to their families or travelling with their loved ones for Christmas. Safety is always our number priority [sic], as our teams on the ground are working extra hard to get our customers to their destinations."
Passengers affected by the delays took to social media to air their grievances.
