"Welcome whÄnau" painted at the end of the runway at Wellington Airport. Melbourne Airport decided to share its excitement for the quarantine-free travel arrangement through the medium of interpretive dance, with a troupe of masked dancers using clear balloons to symbolise the bubble. Travellers arriving into Sydney Airport were also in for a visual spectacle, as they were greeted by a group of drag queens. Meanwhile in Auckland, those waiting in the arrivals hall for their loved ones on the first flight into New Zealand were treated to a marathon performance of Dave Dobbyn’s Welcome Home/Nau Mai Rā.
