Reports from French Polynesia say a French military cargo aircraft has picked up 20 residents who were stranded in New Zealand because of the Covid-19 outbreak.
The reports say the A400M aircraft had first flown supplies to the French base in New Caledonia and then returned via Auckland.
When the plane was deployed to French Polynesia last month, officials said it was for missions around both French Polynesia and the wider Pacific.
