Turkey will resume flights from the United Kingdom and Denmark, Turkish Airlines CEO Bilal Eksi said on Wednesday. Eksi said on Twitter passengers will need to have a negative PCR test within 72 hours of the flight, citing a decision by authorities.

Passengers on Air New Zealand's first flight to Tasmania in more than two decades have been welcomed at Hobart Airport. Inaugural flight NZ197, which was about a third full, touched down just before 11am on Thursday, local time. Before taking off from Auckland, a karakia was performed at the boarding gate, before a stirring performance by the Modern Māori Quartet. It's been a historic week for travel, with the trans-Tasman bubble opening and Air New Zealand now starting a new route to the island state. Hobart is the ninth Australian destination the airline intends to operate quarantine-free flights with. Flights to Hobart will operate on Thursdays and Sundays, making it easy to head to Australia’s island state for a long weekend.<br/>
