9,761 Malaysians Repatriated from Abroad Amid Pandemic Travel Restrictions

A total of 9,761 Malaysians have been successfully repatriated from 63 countries where they were stranded due to travel restrictions imposed during the Covid-19 pandemic. These individuals were brought home through a combination of special chartered flights, commercial flights, and land and sea transportation. As of the latest update, 2,873 Malaysians had been safely returned via 21 flights.
Repatriation Efforts Across Multiple Nations

The repatriation efforts have spanned numerous countries, with specific instances highlighting the complexities involved. For example, the Turkish government granted special clearance for a flight to Istanbul to repatriate 354 Malaysians who were stranded there due to travel restrictions and blockades.
Ongoing Negotiations for Indian Repatriation

Wisma Putra has been actively negotiating with Indian authorities for clearance to repatriate Malaysians stranded in Chennai. The original flight was scheduled for April 14, and the Malaysian High Commission in New Delhi has been providing consular assistance, including accommodation and meals, to those affected by the delay.
Special Cases and International Cooperation

The return of stranded citizens has also involved significant international cooperation. Eight Malaysians stranded in Montenegro are expected to arrive after being successfully repatriated with the assistance of the Montenegrin government. In another instance, a special AirAsia chartered flight delivered humanitarian aid, including anti-malaria prescriptions, to Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
