UPDATE 2 ON CHRISTCHURCH EARTHQUAKE – SATURDAY 04 SEPTEMBER 19.00 HRS

We are pleased to advise that there have been no further major incidents in the Christchurch area although aftershocks are still being felt. Christchurch Airport was reopened this afternoon. As far as we know all flights are scheduled to depart on time tomorrow Sunday 05 September. Power has been restored to 90% of Christchurch locations although the city centre remains largely closed to the public. Most hotels we work with are open and fully operational, although the Copthorne Durham Hotel is closed due to some structural damage. Any guests booked in to that hotel are being accommodated in the Copthorne Central or Millennium Hotel. Be assured we are checking on any clients heading to Christchurch and assisting them in any way we can.
