An Air New Zealand Airbus A320 has been damaged in a ground handling incident in Samoa.
A company spokesman said the damage was caused by an operator's error.
The Samoa Observer said the plane's cabin door was damaged when a hydraulic ladder slammed into it after an operator mistook the up button for the down.
NZPA reported that 138 passengers were forced to spend an extra night in Samoa as a result of the incident.
Air New Zealand said the passengers were returned home on another plane and the A320 has been flown to its engineering base in Christchurch for repair.
