This is the Indonesian Embassy's response to the request of the Indonesian migrant
workers keen on returning home, but no flights to Indonesia were available owing to
the suspension (of international flights) Jakarta - The Indonesian Embassy in Bandar
Seri Begawan, Brunei Darussalam, facilitated the return of 98 Indonesian workers
back home in the wake of the country having suspended several international flights
to stem the spread of COVID-19.

Indonesian Ambassador to Brunei Darussalam Sujatmiko dispatched the workers
aboard a special flight of the Royal Brunei Airlines on Friday to return home.

Brunei Darussalam has suspended some international flights, including to and from
Indonesia, since March 23 to curb the spread of the novel coronavirus.

Sujatmiko noted that the special flight provided was emblematic of the cooperation
between the governments of Indonesia and Brunei Darussalam, and the Royal
Brunei Airlines has mirrored the government's concern on the condition of the
Indonesian workers amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

The cost of the flight was borne by the workers.

"This is the Indonesian Embassy's response to the request of the Indonesian
migrant workers keen on returning home, but no flights to Indonesia were available
owing to the suspension (of international flights)," he explained.
