ABOUT 310 more British travellers will be able to return home from Jamaica on a second charter flight organised by the Government of the United Kingdom.
On May 7 several British travellers stranded in Jamaica were taken home on a Boeing 787 charter flight arranged by the UK Government in partnership with the travel company TUI.
The FCO has also helped thousands of British travellers to return home from the Caribbean to the UK via commercial routes, including more than 4,300 from Jamaica.
“I am very pleased we have been able to organise this special return flight for British travellers in Jamaica,” said British Minister for the Caribbean, Baroness Sugg.
“The UK Government is working with the airline industry and host governments across the world to bring back British travellers to the UK as part of the plan announced by the Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab, with up to £75 million available for special charter flights to priority countries, focused on helping the most vulnerable travellers,” added Ahmad.
