A fourth and final repatriation flight departed early Monday, evacuating 78 Thai nationals who were stranded in Maldives and Sri Lanka, amid the global travel restrictions implemented due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Organised jointly by the Royal Thai Embassy in Colombo, Sri Lanka and the Royal Thai Consulate in Maldives, this was the third flight under the repatriation mission to return Thai nationals, who requested to do so at the Embassy.
