That will be the case for the first few emergency flights being put on by Air New Zealand for Kiwis who are stranded in the Australian state due to the latest Covid-19 outbreak there. Bookings for the special flights will be made available on the airline's website from 10am today on a first in, first served basis. The first emergency flights from NSW are scheduled to touch down tomorrow at 2.25pm in Auckland and 11.55pm in Christchurch, respectively. The next flights throughout the week are scheduled to arrive in Auckland, while one will land in Christchurch on July 23. "We appreciate our customers' understanding and patience as our teams work to ensure they are kept up to date."
