Repatriation Flight from India Lands with Only 80 of Planned 150 Passengers on Board

The first repatriation flight from New Delhi has landed in Darwin following the end of the federal government’s controversial ban on travel from India

The Qantas jet touched down at the RAAF base shortly before 9:00am, local time. It was scheduled to carry up to 150 passengers but in the end only carried 80 people back to Australia

A total of 70 people were barred from boarding. 46 of those tested positive to COVID-19, while 24 others were identified as close contacts

While the government tried to fill the flight with more passengers, it struggled to do so because of the window for pre-flight testing restrictions
