Some travellers have had their flights disrupted tonight due to strong winds in Wellington.
There had been cancellations or delays for some flights and passengers were asked to check the airport's website for information, a Wellington airport spokeswoman said.
"The wind is due to ease tonight, so we think it is a short-term situation.''
Five Air New Zealand flights had been grounded and at least one Jetstar flight had been cancelled.
The wild weather has ruined the evening of one Beyonce fan, who has taken to Twitter to sell concert tickets she won't get to use.
