CBC Director Mr. Bruce Smith stated, “Thank you to the CBC officers and Migration Management Team for their dedicated efforts in managing and arranging the successful repatriation flights. Their commitment has been instrumental in ensuring the smooth transition of individuals, especially with the added efficiency brought about by the 2022 Regulations that have significantly reduced the processing time. Correspondingly, we most sincerely appreciate the collaboration and support of our partner agency HMCIPS”.
Both repatriation flights commenced and concluded without incident.
