A passenger has died while onboard a China Southern flight from Guangzhou to Auckland on Monday, amid tighter airport and flying restrictions due to the coronavirus outbreak.
Police have confirmed they attended a report of a sudden death on a flight inbound from China today at around 4.30pm on Monday.
The death on flight CZ305 is believed to have been due to a medical event, according to an Auckland Airport spokesperson, not coronavirus.
"Unfortunately, the passenger had passed away before arrival to Auckland Airport," the spokesperson said.
