UK charters emergency flights to help British nationals leave Jamaica | ITV News

The UK government has chartered flights to help British nationals leave Jamaica after Hurricane Melissa tore through the country.

Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper said in a statement on Thursday: “The strong links between the UK and Jamaica mean many British nationals were there during the devastation of the hurricane, and we need to ensure they can get safely home, as we know how worrying and difficult the last few days will have been.

“The UK Government is chartering flights to bolster commercial capacity and ensure people who wish to return to the UK can do so as soon as possible.”
