Flights from New Zealand`s Auckland Airport are returning to schedule after a runaway dog near the tarmac was shot dead by police because it was delaying planes taking off.

Mulitalo said the backlog of delayed flights would likely be cleared during the morning.
Sixteen domestic and international flights were delayed for safety reasons at the nation`s busiest airport while the dog was on the loose for three hours, a spokeswoman for Auckland Airport, Lisa Mulitalo, told Reuters.
