Why are humanitarian flights the best way to return home?

humanitarian Flights

31 Aug 2020

The concept of humanitarian flights was little known, until in recent months when it became the only option used by tourists, students abroad and people who made business trips and who, due to the emergency of COVID-19, were left without options for commercial flights to return to their countries of origin.

There are many benefits that travelers receive when using this type of rescue and humanitarian flight services, we will tell you some of them:

 


 

Families return to their country

One of the greatest anxieties for Guatemalans in the first months of the Coronavirus emergency was the concern for family and close friends who had left the country in the last weeks of February. Entire families were stranded in different parts of Central America, the United States, and even Europe.

The positive is that with the help of the embassies and other institutions, it was possible to locate the families and coordinate their return to Guatemala in the shortest possible time.

 

Students back home

Another particular case was that of young guatemalan people who were abroad for study purposes. Many of them obtained scholarships last year and were in different countries receiving classes in some of the best universities in the world.

As the dynamics moved from face-to-face classes to studying from home, several of them made the decision to return to Guatemala to be closer to their families.

 

Foreigners in Guatemala are benefited

As in the case of Guatemalans who were left unable to return home, many foreigners had started their vacations in the last weeks of February, before they were surprised by the closure of  various borders along Central America and in other countries around the world.

During those first weeks in which the Coronavirus was detected in our country, many travelers were uncertain, without knowing how soon they could return home. Thanks to the efforts of various authorities and the support of airlines such as TAG Airlines, various flights have been made to different destinations, taking thousands of people back to their countries of origin.

 

People on business trips can travel

Both Guatemalans and foreigners suffered a setback in their business plans. The closure of the airports forced many companies to cover additional expenses in hotels, transport and food, while their colleagues were stranded, unable to return to their countries.

In various hotels they were known as Corporate Guests, some of them shared time with the staff for more than 3 months, until they were able to return to their respective countries. (Source: Santa Teresita)

 

Other cases to know

There are other special cases, in which Guatemalans for business reasons or the resumption of face-to-face classes at different universities had to opt for a humanitarian flight to travel to different countries around the world.

Thanks to this humanitarian flight service, all of them were able to stay connected despite the harsh circumstances we are experiencing.
