Emirates has suspended flight bookings to Auckland for three weeks following a New Zealand government order. It is one of a few resumed routes the Dubai-based airline has had to stop amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Emirates said the decision to temporarily stop booking flights to New Zealand’s largest city is due to restrictions from the government there.
