Passengers onboard an Air New Zealand plane have been evacuated at Melbourne Airport after a white substance found on the aircraft sparked a chemical scare.
Some 20 passengers on the Auckland bound flight were ordered from the aircraft when three grams of the white substance was discovered in an overhead locker.
Melbourne Fire Brigade (MFB) Hazmat crews attended the scene to test the substance.
“Initial testing has indicated the substance is not toxic” the MFB said in a statement. “The white power has been cleared as safe.”
Aircraft rescue firefighting, police and ambulance units remained on the scene and the substance will be further tested to determine its origin.
