The airline urges all transit passengers to check the Australian Government website to confirm if a transit visa is needed and to check with their connecting airline or country of final destination for all required testing and documentation, as this will be required upon check-in in Tarawa.

The Australian Government requires that all passengers entering Australia have Government-issued proof of full COVID-19 vaccination and a Digital Passenger Declaration completed within 72 hours prior to departure.
