Air NZ celebrates first direct flight to Adelaide in over a year
Air NZ's first direct passenger flight from Aotearoa to Adelaide in over a year has landed. 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. It's the first time Air NZ has flown the route since late March last year. The airline says it'll now fly Auckland-Adelaide direct three to four times per week using its A321neo and A320 aircraft. It's the seventh Australian city the airline now operates trans-Tasman bubble flights to, which chief customer and commercial officer Leanne Geraghty says is "really positive".<br/>
