Assuming AKL was their final destination. For those making connections it
could be heavens-knows-what

Keep it in perspective - this was a one-off. Bad weather and aircraft
equipment defects cause thousands of flight delays and cancellations every
year.

As a passenger I certainly would expect a cancellation in the circumstances.
I am sure ANZ would have made a considerable effort to assist those affected
by the cancellation of the flight.
