Sefita Hao’uli who is a spokesperson for RSE workers says the next flight is on the 19th of this month with a confirmed limit of only 40 seats.
“This would be our fourth repatriation flight. Just over 300 workers out of 1300 workers that are in New Zealand have been able to return home.
“It’s quite clear that we’re unable to meet the demands."
Hao'uli say many workers have decided to stay and work throughout the holiday season due to the tight border restrictions.
