National's hitting out at the Government's plane double up for its China trip.

Prime Minister Chris Hipkins and his entourage, along with a business delegation and reporters landed in Beijing last night on the Defence Force Boeing 757.

But a second 757 has tailed them as a contingency plan, given that breakdowns have become a somewhat regular occurrence.
