The first repatriation flight from India has landed in Darwin following the end of the federal government's controversial ban on travel from that country.
The Qantas jet touched down at the RAAF base shortly before 9:00am, local time.
It was scheduled to carry 150 passengers but late yesterday the ABC learned 40 passengers returned positive results to COVID-19 and another 30 were declared close contacts and were unable to board.
It is unknown if additional passengers were called to board the flight instead.
The arrivals will be taken to the Howard Springs centre where they will remain in quarantine for a fortnight.
More to come.
