New Zealand will miss an important opportunity to travel safely if a South Pacific bubble doesn't open soon, according to Daniel Eggenberger, general manager of Air Tahiti Nui.

Tahiti is opening to visitors from 15 July, with pre-departure health checks required by visitors.

Bringing Tahiti ‘more into the minds of Kiwis’ is one of the three key goals in 2020 for Air Tahiti Nui as it starts the year in new premises in Auckland’s Queen Street.

Air Tahiti Nui has a new team and central Auckland location.

Air Tahiti Nui will soon be advertising for three new roles, following the announcement late last week that the carrier will take on the full, solus management of its New Zealand and Australian distribution, sales and marketing activities later this year.
