The first flight of Australians repatriated from India will arrive in Darwin today with almost half of expected passengers.
Flight QF112 departed New Delhi just after midnight last night with only 78 people on board as 72 were told they could not board the flight after 48 tested positive to COVID-19 and 24 were ruled as close contacts.
The flight will arrive in the Northern Territory this morning at 9:50 before passengers enter quarantine at a facility in Howard Springs.
