Air New Zealand has cancelled a passenger flight due to depart Auckland for Rarotonga, following New Zealand's latest community case of Covid 19. The Cook Islands government is taking a 'wait and see' approach to the resumption of flights from Aotearoa, awaiting further test results to come back before making any further decisions.
