All the already-airborne flights are allowed to land routinely, but due to the radar fault no jets are currently allowed to take off, Radio New Zealand reports.
"We were informed by Airways New Zealand of a radar fault which is affecting all flights nationally," an Auckland Airport spokesman told the NZ Herald.
At 2.48pm today 23/6/15 we experienced a radar failure. We are working on the issue, and will provide an update.

REALLY good info at this site;
[Link] kudos to Ben Davidson.
get up to speed by watching the "How to watch the sun" series. The daily space weather is essential for ones awareness.
Note; Go back a couple of days for the CME that probably caused the problem mentioned here.
ATTENTION! Check today's vid. Big flare...might fry some satellites...KP 8+....if you have air travel plans you may seriously want to consider postponement....this one that fired off today has real potential for problems...eyes open, no fear.
Hmm...wonder what the magnetosphere for planet earth looked like at that place and time?
Wonder what it looked like when the German plane went down.
Did ya happen to notice the size of the hail stones in South Dakota today?
Now I'm not suggesting that petrified grapefruit was flying around over NZ the other day,
but ya know things just ain't right are they?
How bout them there Noctilucent 'night-shining' Clouds?
I would suggest that it's possible that space, yes that's outer space, invaded the local area.
Wings don't work in a void and even if they did there would be other problems.
There are other possible reasons which relate to back to Earth Changes, but this is one possibility.
You may look to see if there are reports of unusual bodies (UFO's), or rarely observed weather like events, and
or unusual phenomena in the sky at about the same time. All or any of which could indicate a hole in the
magnetosphere which is allowing energies and or other things from space to visit the lower regions of Bikini Bottom.
