Hundreds of thousands of Brits repatriated to the UK

HUNDREDS of thousands of Brits have been repatriated back to the UK.

Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab confirmed the majority were brought home on commercial flights, but more than 2,000 travelled on special charter flights from various countries.

In today’s press conference he said the government is working with other governments to sort out flights for other British nationals “prioritising our most vulnerable citizens”.

More than 200,000 nationals returned from Spain, 13,000 from Egypt and 8,000 from Indonesia.  A further 1,550 were brought back to the UK from cruise ships.
