Passengers on a Qatar Airways flight that was supposed to depart Auckland on Sunday evening are facing their third night in a hotel, with the airline offering "no information" as to what happened. At roughly the time the flight was due to take-off, they were told to make their way back through the airport to the Qatar Airways check-in desk. At the Qatar Airways check-in desk, they were told to go outside and wait for a bus that would take them to hotels. On Monday, Howell said the hotel receptionist told passengers they needed to check out, with another bus set to pick them up at 2pm. Qatar Airways has been approached for comment.
