Thai Embassy in Japan advises citizens to register for repatriation flights
The Thai Embassy in Tokyo is advising citizens who wish to return home to register for two repatriation flights in May. Thai PBS World reports that with the ban on international flights extended until the end of May, the embassy is laying on two special flights for citizens who wish to return to Thailand.
Posting on its Facebook page, the embassy advises citizens who wish to travel to register on the embassy website in order to secure their seats. It also urges those who are not in a rush to get back to postpone their travel plans until the next repatriation flight is approved by the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand.
It’s understood that there are just 10 seats remaining on a Thai Airways flight on May 10, while an ANA / JAL flight on May 9 has around 200 seats available.
As all returnees must undergo a mandatory 14 days’ quarantine in a government facility, current regulations limit the number of daily arrivals to no more than 200, to prevent such facilities being swamped.
