Fire and Emergency were called to Hawke’s Bay Airport after an alert was put out about a small plane.
A police spokesperson told RNZ during landing the plane nose landing gear appeared to be damaged.
Seven fire trucks, two tankers and a command unit were called to the scene just after 10am on Tuesday.
Crews were stood down after the plane landed safely, FENZ said, with crews assisting in cleaning up a small fuel leak.
Hato Hone St John was also notified of the incident.
Two ambulances and one helicopter responded, but had since been stood down, a spokesperson said.
The airport was temporarily closed, with the Civil Aviation Authority taking over the site, an airport spokesperson said.
It has since been reopened.
