One hundred and sixty-two seasonal workers left Tonga for Brisbane, Australia today on a chartered flight, confirmed Paul Karalus of Tonga’s Air Terminal Services this afternoon.

Another five passengers were also on the flight.

Acting Deputy Police Commissioner ‘Atunaisa Taumoepeau told Matangi Tonga the flight was meant to arrive and leave last Friday but was postponed due to Tropical Cyclone Yasa.

He said no passengers arrived on the flight today.

Meanwhile, the Air New Zealand cargo flight continues to service Tonga every Thursday.
