On 8 June 2022, a Boeing 737 on a cargo flight from Sydney, Australia landed at Auckland, New Zealand with little fuel remaining in the wing tanks, and no fuel being fed to the engines from the centre tank. 

The New Zealand Transport Accident Investigation Commission (TAIC) is investigating this occurrence. TAIC has requested assistance and the appointment of an accredited representative from the ATSB.

To facilitate this support and to provide the appropriate protections for the information, the ATSB appointed an accredited representative in accordance with paragraph 5.23 of the International Civil Aviation Organization Annex 13 and commenced an investigation under the Australian Transport Safety Investigation Act 2003.

Any enquiries relating to the investigation should be directed to TAIC www.taic.org.nz
