Helping British travellers who need and want to return to the UK is one of the Government's highest priorities. Since the outbreak in Wuhan, we estimate that over 1.3 million people have returned to the UK via commercial routes - the majority supported by our work to keep vital routes open. We have brought home over 38,000 people on 186 special charter flights organised by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office from Panama, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Costa Rica, China, Peru, Tunisia, Ghana, Algeria, Ecuador/Bolivia, Cayman Islands (via Bermuda/Bahamas), Philippines, Nepal, India, South Africa, Nigeria, Eritrea, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sierra Leone, The Gambia, New Zealand, Bermuda, Fiji, Cayman/Turks & Caicos, Honduras/Colombia, Jamaica, Argentina/Guyana, DRC/Cameroon, Tanzania, Sudan, Uganda, Cote d'Ivoire/Guinea, Liberia/Cape Verde, Eastern Caribbean (Antigua and Barbuda, Trinidad and Tobago, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Saint Lucia, Montserratm Saint Kitts and Nevis, Grenada, Dominica, British Virgin Islands) and Andes (Chile-Ecuador-UK).
