First repatriation flight to American Samoa leaves Honolulu's Airport.
HONOLULU, Hawaii (HawaiiNewsNow) - Nearly a year after American Samoa closed its borders to prevent COVID-19 from coming in, the first repatriation flight left Hawaii on Monday morning.
Some 159 people were on the historic flight from Honolulu to Pago Pago.
They were among thousands stranded in Hawaii and on the mainland when their homeland closed their borders to travelers 11 months ago to prevent COVID-19 from getting in.
Before dawn Monday, several buses dropped off the eager travelers ― who had finished two weeks of quarantine at the White Sands Hotel.
