Air New Zealand requiring vaccination proof for all international flights

Friday, 04 Oct, 2021 0

Air New Zealand is imposing a vaccination mandate on all international passenger flights.

Customers flying internationally with Air NZ must be fully vaccinated from February, 2022.

Air New Zealand CEO Greg Foran said the airline is working on a system to verify passengers’ vaccination status.

“At the moment we have a card that we get, but obviously the plan is to move that to a digital solution,” Foran said.

“The Government is working on the Travel Health Declaration, which will be required to be filled out. We’re staying close to the industry body IATA, and they have something called the Travel Pass, so there’ll be a combination of forms here that will be developed over the next four months to make it as seamless as possible.”

“Increasingly, the places Kiwis like to fly to will be closed to unvaccinated visitors, and we’re working on ways to streamline the travel process for you,” he said.

Foran hasn’t ruled out a similar requirement for domestic flights.
