Repatriation is defined as the return of someone to their own country. And what has happened already with some flights here.

Surprised there is even that much need for these flights now, as I would have thought most everyone who wanted to return to Holland or France would have done so already..

SXM may not be the only stop on the flights. For example, the routing for KLM789 tomorrow is AMS-SXM-CUR-AMS. There may be passengers being repatriated to Curaçao on the inbound flight. I don’t think that SXM is accepting repatriated passengers at the moment, but I may be wrong about that. https://www.curacaochronicle.com/post/local/klm-to-repatriate-residents-to-curacao-on-june-6/

It is typical that KLM flies here to Curacao before the return to Holland. In this instance will pick up more expats to take home. The plane will arrive here empty as posted above and no one will be allowed to disembark in Curacao..

They filled a plane load of US folks yesterday. Most of our winter folks are usually gone by this time. Every US expat plane that has come here we lost more and more neighbors. And it's hurricane season.
