PHUKET:-- Russian authorities organised another airlift from Phuket, helping 193 stranded tourists to get back to their home country despite numerous travel restrictions amidst COVID-19.

 

The second airlift since Phuket airport’s closure was performed by S7 Airlines on April 24. An acid green Airbus A321 left the island at 12.30pm and is scheduled to land in Novosibirsk (Southwestern Siberia) at around 8pm Phuket time.

 

The plane left Phuket with 146 adults, 42 children and five infants or toddlers, Russia’s Ministry of Transport announced via its official Twitter account.
