Repatriation flight from Brisbane postponed [1]

Nuku'alofa, Tonga

Tuesday, March 30, 2021 - 20:53

The repatriation flight from Brisbane, Australia scheduled to arrive in Tonga on 31 March, has been postponed due to the Brisbane area going on lockdown yesterday after new COVID-19 cases were confirmed.

To ensure that Tonga is safe and remains COVID free, the advice from the Ministry of Health is to postpone the arrival of the Brisbane flight to a later time, said MEIDECC CEO Paula Ma’u.

The repatriation flight from Auckland will still arrive as planned on Wednesday, 31 March, as well as the chartered flight from Fiji on 1 April, he said.

Tonga is one of the few countries in the world that is still COVID free.
