About 2400 evacuees from Lebanon have now landed in Australia as the federal government prepares to call time on the flights. Interest in the free seats out of Beirut has declined sharply in recent days with fewer than 180 aboard two flights to Cyprus that departed on Friday. The last two government-chartered flights will leave Beirut on Sunday before the Australian government pulls the pin on the evacuation operation.
Two more government-chartered repatriation flights landed in Sydney on Saturday evening, carrying hundreds of Australians and their family members. One final Qantas flight is due to leave Cyprus on Wednesday evening. The arrived passengers add to the 2135 who have already arrived on long-haul flights chartered by Australia.
