Families reunite as Australia-New Zealand travel bubble begins

New Zealand travellers are seen as quarantine-free travel between Australia and New Zealand begins, at Sydney International Airport SYDNEY (Reuters) -Hundreds of passengers from Australia began arriving in New Zealand airports on Monday after authorities reopened borders, a pandemic milestone that allows quarantine-free travel between the countries for the first time in over a year. Though most Australian states have allowed quarantine-free visits from New Zealand residents since late last year, New Zealand had enforced isolation for arrivals from its neighbour, citing concerns about sporadic virus outbreaks there. Television footage showed emotional scenes at the airports with families reuniting and scores of passengers thronging the international departure terminals at Australian airports.

Airports get busy as Australia-New Zealand quarantine-free travel begins

SYDNEY (AFP, REUTERS) - Emotions ran high Monday (April 19) as excited passengers set off on the first flights to take advantage of a quarantine-free travel bubble between Australia and New Zealand, allowing families split by the pandemic to finally reunite.   (I’ll) yell, scream cry, hug, kiss, (feel) happy – all of these emotions at once, Ms Denise O’Donoghue, 63, told AFP at Sydney airport as she prepared to board her flight.  The arrangement means that for the first time in almost 400 days passengers can fly across the Tasman Sea without undergoing mandatory Covid-19 quarantine when they arrive.  Both Australia and New Zealand had largely closed their borders to non-citizens and permanent residents more than a year ago, helping to keep their Covid-19 numbers relatively low compared with several other developed countries.
