"A drone came within five metres of an incoming 777-200 plane as it approached Auckland, potentially putting 278 passengers and crew at risk."
NZ92 was just metres away from a serious incident on Sunday. The pilots spotted the drone at a point in the descent where it was not possible to take evasive action," chief operations and integrity standards officer Captain David Morgan said.
"It passed so close to the incoming aircraft that they were concerned it may have been ingested into the engine."
A later inspection of the aircraft showed the drone did not go into the engine.
