Passengers had to be rescreened at Queenstown Airport after one made it into the domestic departures lounge without a security check.
Queenstown Airport said the breach on Wednesday morning was picked up within a minute, but all domestic passengers had to be check again as part of its security protocols.
All four screening lanes were opened and international screening was delayed.
The airport said the incident was "unfortunately" at one of the busiest times of the day..
