Air New Zealand quarantine services to Australia sell out within three minutes

Air New Zealand stated (20-Sep-2021) its quarantine services to Australia sold out within three minutes of going on sale. Air New Zealand chief customer and sales officer Leanne Geraghty said the airline was allocated a very limited number of managed isolation spaces to return customers home to Australia. Ms Geraghty stated due to Australian quarantine constraints, "we were only allocated a total of 385 seats to Perth, Brisbane and Melbourne between 25 September and 30 October. On some flights, as little as 10 seats were available". [more - original PR]
