"Police say an attempt to break into a plane at Kapiti Airport overnight was likely an "idiotic, expensive prank''.
Two flights were cancelled after the attempted beak-in caused the Air Nelson plane's emergency chute to inflate.
Senior Sergeant Alasdair Macmillan of Kapiti police said someone tried to force their way in to the Bombadier Q300`s rear emergency exit door between 8pm yesterday and 6am.
"In doing so this has activated an airbag below the door, which is a safety device ... for ensuring the safety of passengers having to exit the plane in an an emergency.''"
