A man on board a flight says a drone passed so close it was only metres beneath a plane as it came into land at Auckland Airport last night.
Police are concerned a drone interfered with at least two flights last night - one as it was making its final approach to the runway.
A stunned passenger said he was looking at the fireworks lighting up the night sky across the city when he spotted a drone pass around 30m under the plane.
"I remember thinking that's cutting it pretty close," he told the Herald.
Police said police were called to a report that a drone, flying at around 300m, interfered with the approach of an incoming flight around 9pm.
