Up to 54 members of the Connection City Church Assemblies of God church travelled to Israel for a Holy Land tour, visiting historical Christian sites.
They arrived in Jerusalem early last week, just a few days before the devastating weekend assault by Hamas gunmen.
Pesi Sikalu told the Herald this morning they had received good news overnight - Turkish Airlines is now set to resume a flight out of Israel that the group is booked to be on.
The Tongan Government has also sent its consul representative to be with the group.
