Both Australia and NZ have closed their borders to everyone except citizens and permanent residents, so the only aircraft flying will be into the main ports (Sydney, Melbourne, Auckland), and I assume the flights returning those people will be charters from wherever. I am guessing seats will be made available on the flights back out.
