First RSAF evacuation flight from Saudi Arabia arrives in Singapore

More than 200 Singaporeans and their dependents landed at Changi Airport Terminal 2 on Wednesday (Mar 11), returning on the first military evacuation flight from Saudi Arabia.

The Republic of Singapore Air Force A330 Multi-Role Tanker Transport arrived at Changi Airport Terminal 2 at about 6am.

The flight was the first of two military flights from Saudi Arabia to evacuate Singaporeans in Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar and Saudi Arabia amid the Middle East war.

Arriving evacuees were greeted with tears and tight hugs from family members.

"We can't be thankful enough, seriously, we can't be thankful enough. It is so good to be back home again," a passenger said.
