Board of Airlines: Clock is ticking for New Zealand to reopen borders

Hopes New Zealand isn't too far behind Australia, with opening our borders.

It's set to allow international travel for fully vaccinated Australian travellers in November.

There'll be seven-day home quarantine on return, in states and territories ready to open.

People will still have to do 14 days in MIQ if they're unvaccinated.

Board of Airlines Justin Tighe Umbers told Heather du Plessis-Allan the clock is ticking for us with the rest of the world opening quickly.

“We don’t get a hoof on down here, when New Zealand flights have only got about 30 passengers coming into them in many instances, airlines are just going to shift their planes north.”
