The bubble will open on 17 May, with Air New Zealand offering flights from 18 May, allowing two-way quarantine-free travel between both countries.
CISNOC Secretary General, Owen Lewis, said federations have suffered financially because of Covid-19, and the travel bubble means competitions can now resume. These events are the financial arm of our federations to a large degree, they use it to raise funds and to sustain them for the rest of the year and I think the bubble is going to make a huge difference to our federations financially, he said.
