After the COVID-19 pandemic decimated international travel, Flight NZ191 left Auckland International Airport on Wednesday morning at 8:20am, on schedule. The flight appeared to be about a quarter full and passengers were treated to a glass of bubbles for the occasion. To welcome Kiwis back to South Australia, Ngarrindjeri artist Major Sumner performed a Welcome to Country at Adelaide Airport for the flight's arrival, as freshly shucked Coffin Bay oysters and Maggie Beer canapes were served.
