WILLEMSTAD - Dutch Royal Caribbean Airlines KLM will be making a repatriation flight to take Dutch nationals back to the Netherlands on Wednesday, May 6.

The flight will land in Curaçao with a stop in St. Maarten. St. Maarten Prime Minister Silveria Jacobs said during her national address on Monday evening that persons who will be travelling on this or any other flight, will not require a waiver to pass police checkpoints to move between zones A and B. Proof of their ticket will suffice.

According to Prime Minister Eugene Rhuggenaath, this flight is to take people back to the Netherlads. Curaçao is not ready yet to received residents who are currently stranded in the Netherlands. Several people have asked about the two flights scheduled for today. The premier stressed that these two flights will not bring residents to the islands. The government is working on a quarantine plan for residents and once that is done, they can return to the island.
