An incident involving two Air New Zealand pilots has been reported to the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), the national aviation watchdog. The event took place while the pilots were in the United States.
At this stage, specific details regarding the nature of the incident have not been released to the public. The airline has confirmed that it is aware of the situation and is cooperating fully with the relevant authorities.
The Civil Aviation Authority is responsible for overseeing safety standards in New Zealand's aviation sector. They are currently reviewing the report to determine if any safety protocols were breached during the pilots' time abroad.
