Air New Zealand's first quarantine-free flight to Brisbane takes off tomorrow

Passengers on board the 7.40am flight will not need to quarantine on arrival in Brisbane so long as they fill out an Australia Travel Declaration form saying they have been in New Zealand for 14 days.

Air New Zealand already operates similar flights to Sydney and Melbourne.

Little steps.😉

How come this flight didn't receive any local publicity?  Did I miss something?

Welcome Kiwis.

But we cannot go to NZ, not fair. Australian Govt should not have agreed to allowing Kiwis to enter Australia without NZ allowing Aussies in.

 

Standby for spears and empty Steinlager bottles arriving from over the dutch, lol.

Your Govt invited the Kiwis to come. over to help support your tourist industry. There are only a few flights compared with the traffic that used to be and with the current publicity of the chaos over there there  will probably be even less .

Meanwhile the tourist industry here is booming as Kiwis holiday at home and spend what they would normally spend overseas .

The Kiwis love the Gold Coast David, I have stayed in apartment buildings up there in winter and 90% occupied by Kiwis, they do bring a lot of $$$$ into Qld.

Just make sure that the KIWIS fully understand that Australia is a federation of STATES - and they can't necessarily just take off elsewhere within the country. Come to Qld - but stay in Qld! , etc.

I think the border restrictions will deter a few from coming over just yet, and of course they may end up having to quarantine on their return to NZ anyway.

Yes, many own their apartments.  Lots of Kiwis at Main Beach, Gold Coast.  So until the pandemic, they had the best of both worlds, living between NZ and Gold Coast.

Rich Kiwis.

It was reported that very few Kiwis were on the first flight , mostly Aussies returning home without the need or cost to quarantine.

Looks like the first flight was not very popular ,only 25 passengers and they have now gone into lockdown in Brissie

Bubble looking further and further away

They won't operate the flights with those low pax numbers, David.  Not only City of Brisvegas is in lockdown, but Greater Brizvegas.
