Together, these flights, all bound for Washington DC, will take over 900 Americans from South Africa back to the United States.

Two repatriation flights for US citizens departed on Thursday, with a third expected to leave on Friday.

The first flight left at 14:35 from Cape Town International Airport after leaving King Shaka International Airport in KwaZulu-Natal on Thursday morning. US Ambassador to South Africa Lana Marks hailed the international relations and cooperation and transport departments as well as Airports Company South Africa for their “excellent collaboration” in facilitating the departure of the US citizens.

Last week, Transport Minister Fikile Mbalula said the repatriation of foreign nationals from South Africa was allowed, provided that chartered aircraft were manned only by a crew who would not be allowed to disembark.
