Brisbane repatriation flight

Tonga repatriation flight today

Other flights scheduled for 25 February have been postponed to arrive in Tonga on 3 March from Fiji, New Zealand and Australia.

MEIDECC CEO, Paula Ma’u said the reason was due to passengers now staying in quarantine for three weeks [with no home quarantine]. “We must give workers one week to rest and to have quarantine facilities cleaned before the arrival of the next repatriation flights.”

Currently, the 114 passengers who arrived on 04 February remain in quarantine at the Tanoa Hotel in Nuku'alofa.
