A major earthquake in Christchurch, New Zealand shut down the city’s airport and caused the evacuation of the country’s main air traffic control center, grounding flights nationwide.
Christchurch International Airport is closed to all commercial flights until at least 7p.m. (local time), following a magnitude 6.3 earthquake that struck before 1p.m. on Feb. 22. An airport spokeswoman says it should be open again – for domestic operations at least – by Feb. 23.
