An Auckland Airport spokesman said the LATAM Airlines flight - which left Lima, Peru, via Santiago, Chile - arrived at 5am and was met by a full contingent of airport operational staff. The first mercy flight was an Air New Zealand service on February 6, which brought home Kiwis who had been in the centre of the outbreak - Wuhan, China. As the coronavirus situation continues, Auckland Airport now sees about 3500 passengers each day.
