Covid-19: No direct flights between NZ and India

From Morning Report, 6:08 am on 29 April 2021

New Zealanders stuck in India are facing an up-hill battle trying to get a flight home and House of Travel warns is only going to get worse. New Zealand's temporary ban on travel from India has now lifted. But many flights to this country include transit stops in Australia, which has imposed its own temporary ban on flights from India. House of Travel's Brent Thomas says there are no direct flights, so returning to New Zealand is very challenging.
