Wellington, Oct 3 (TIWN) Air New Zealand announced on Sunday that it will ask customers to get ready for international travel by getting fully vaccinated against Covid-19.

Air New Zealand's vaccination requirement from February 2022 will apply to all passengers aged 18 and older arriving or departing the country on the carrier's aircraft, reports Xinhua news agency.    Customers who are not vaccinated will be required to present proof that vaccination was not a viable option for them for medical reasons.   "Being vaccinated against Covid-19 is the new reality of international travel - many of the destinations Kiwis want to visit are already closed to unvaccinated visitors. The quicker we get vaccinated, the sooner we can fly Kiwis to places like New York, Vancouver and Narita.
