According to a Government press release, there has also been an amendment to the SOE Orders to allow domestic ferry travel from Savaii on Sundays.
The first repatriation flight on 14 January will be a charted plane from Tonga that will repatriate Samoans, who will arrive in Tongatapu on an earlier flight from New Zealand.
The Lulutai Airlines flight will return to Tongatapu on the same day with Tongans stranded in Samoa.
Another return flight is scheduled to bring home Samoan sailors from New Zealand on 22 January 2021.
