A Virgin Australia Group spokesperson said, “The New Zealand Government’s in principle decision to establish quarantine-free travel with Australia early next year is very much welcomed and provides further confidence for travellers and those looking to do business across the Tasman,” adding, “While services are currently on sale from late March, the decision gives us time to prepare aircraft and crew for re-entry into New Zealand skies”, adding, “We’ll continue to review and adjust our schedule in line with demand and the start dates for quarantine-free travel being worked through by the respective governments”.
