Chile investigators head to NZ for LATAM Boeing 787 probe, aviation body says

Investigators from Chile's aviation authority are traveling to New Zealand on Tuesday to investigate an incident involving a LATAM Airlines Boeing plane which left more than 50 people injured.

Chile's DGAC aviation body said in a statement it will take the lead on the investigation after the plane, carrying 263 passengers and nine crew members, abruptly dropped mid-flight on Monday while en route from Sydney to Auckland.
