(TAN): Air New Zealand has begun services to and from Nadi Fiji to assist the Fijian government in repatriating Fijian citizens. Flight NZ952 took off from Auckland on June 12 with Fijian passport holders on board, bound for Nadi, Fiji. A return service is also expected to repatriate New Zealanders who have been in Fiji since Covid-19 travel bans were implemented.
The repatriation flights to Fiji are being carried out in accordance with the Travel Advice issued by the Government of Fiji. On arrival in Fiji, all passengers are required to enter a government-designated quarantine facility for 14 days and will then be required to complete a further 14 days home isolation.
