Tonga has postponed the repatriation flight from Fiji, which was due to arrive in Tonga next week, confirmed MEIDECC CEO Paula Ma'u today.

"This is due to Fiji closing its borders due to the transmission of the COVID-19 Indian variant."

The flight is postponed to the first week of June. A Brisbane repatriation flight was also postponed to the first week of June.

Meanwhile, the two repatriation flights scheduled to arrive in Tonga in the first week of May, are coming from New Zealand and Pagopago.
