The first batch of stranded Guyanese were repatriated on Saturday June 6 on a flight from Miami USA.

The Eastern Airlines flight landed at the CJIA at approximately 16:30h with 109 citizens who were all sanitized and screened upon entering the airport.

There was a Caribbean Airlines flight planned for Thursday June 11 for stranded Guyanese in Trinidad and Tobago and Barbados and another flight from the USA, originating from JFK New York, on Saturday June 13 but were both cancelled without any apparent reason.

Our fellow Guyanese are desperate to return home with some barely surviving.

A few of us that were on the only flight to date are home but are willing to see the process through.
