SINGAPORE: Singapore Airlines (SIA) is assisting both New Zealand and Singapore health authorities with contact information of customers who were seated in the vicinity of a passenger who had contracted measles.


SIA said this is for the purpose of contact tracing and further investigations.


The passenger had travelled from Singapore to Auckland on Sunday on flight SQ281 which arrived at night.


A SIA spokesperson said the airline was informed on Tuesday that one of its passengers on that flight had been infected with measles.


The spokesperson added that SIA will provide its full cooperation to the health authorities of both countries.


There were 260 other passengers on board SQ281.


New Zealand's health authorities estimate that those passengers would have since been in close contact with at least another 100 people.
