Auckland Airport ready to separate travellers

From Morning Report, 7:53 am on 26 March 2021

After months of work, Auckland Airport is ready for the opening of a travel bubble with Australia.

The airport has made plans to segregate at-risk and no-risk travellers - dividing the international terminal into two self-contained processing zones.

Zone A, a safe travel area, will be used exclusively for quarantine-free arrivals and all departures, and Zone B, the "health management" area, will be used for processing arrivals who are going on to managed isolation facilities.

Adrian Littlewood is Auckland Airport chief executive officer.
