Watch what Guy Fawkes 2018 looked like from the air

Incredible video has captured stunning fireworks displays from the skies above Auckland.

Guy Fawkes went off with a bang on Monday evening, with thousands of households letting off fireworks throughout the night.

But Aucklanders seemed to celebrate with particular enthusiasm, which Newshub news editor Rebecca Watson captured on camera from the sky.

She was flying into the city on an 8pm flight from Napier, coming in to land at the perfect time to see Auckland erupt with hundreds of individual fireworks displays. 

Entranced by the pyrotechnics on the horizon, she decided to film the "beautiful" scene as her Air New Zealand plane landed.

"It was stunning - you could see fireworks going off in every direction," she says.

The weather had a hand in the incredible footage, the clear night meaning fireworks could be seen from kilometres away.
