Australians stranded in Peru, Argentina and South Africa will have the chance to come home on three more coronavirus rescue flights.
Foreign Minister Marise Payne says the government has struck a deal with Qantas on the flights, with a further 280 Australians already on a separate plane home from Peru on Thursday.
“The Australian government is also assisting by ensuring that these flights have the necessary clearances and approvals in countries where Australian airlines normally don’t fly,” she told reporters in Canberra.
“Some of this is new for Qantas so we are assisting with that process.
“We are exploring similar options to facilitate flights from other destinations in coming weeks and they will include, I hope, subject to permissions in those countries, India and the Philippines.”
