September repatriation flight suspended

Tonga defers September repatriation flights

According to MEIDECC CEO, Paula Ma’u there are still community cases in Auckland and Queensland.

New dates may be scheduled for October once dates are confirmed by the National Emergency Committee.

Tonga permitted a repatriation flight from Vanuatu last month which brought in 14 Chinese nationals who were based in Vanuatu since June 2021.

They were approved by the Government to implement a development project having fulfilled the strict requirements required.
