You could almost hear the sighs of relief at 4pm on Tuesday in Queenstown.
After holding the collective breath for more than a year, the resort was finally able to exhale as Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced a trans-Tasman bubble will open from 11.59pm on April 18.
The first flight from Australia into Queenstown in more than a year will be operated by Qantas, from Sydney, landing in the resort about 2.30pm on April 19.
Air New Zealand will resume its international flights the following day.
