A breach of the trans-Tasman travel bubble has been reported by Air New Zealand after a man travelled from the Cook Islands to Perth without completing quarantine in New Zealand.

New Zealand website Stuff first reported the breach, which occurred on a flight on Friday morning.

We have been made aware of a passenger on board NZ175 Auckland-Perth today who is ineligible for quarantine-free travel to Australia.

We are working with the relevant authorities on both sides of the Tasman and will follow their guidance.
