New Zealand is moving into the next stage of our border reopening plan.

Vaccinated tourists from around 60 visa waiver countries can now come here, as long as they do Covid pre-departure and arrival tests.

Air New Zealand Chief Executive Greg Foran told Kate Hawkesby passengers from all over the globe are expected to touch down in the country today.

“We’ve got flights coming in from the United States and from Nadi coming in, so about 1000 people arriving today and it’s pretty steady right through.”
