Repatriation flight from NZ deferred again [1]

Nuku'alofa, Tonga

Tuesday, March 9, 2021 - 17:35

Air New Zealand flight leaves Fua'amotu International Airport, 15 April 2020.

The repatriation flight that was scheduled to arrive tomorrow with passengers from Auckland, will now only arrive with cargo, confirmed MEIDECC CEO Paula Ma’u this morning.

The next passenger repatriation flight from New Zealand will be determined later, he said.

This is the second time the flight to Tonga has been deferred. The repatriation flight was originally planned for 3 March, but was postponed to 10 March following Auckland’s Level 3 lockdown alert on 28 February due to CoViD-19 community cases.

The New Zealand government downgraded the lockdown alert levels on Sunday, 7 March, to Level 2 in Auckland, and Level 1 for the rest of the country.

Tonga's health officials are monitoring the CoViD-19 situation in Auckland.
