Rejected petition Get New Zealand to allow Mercy flights to allow British Citizens home

Ask the New Zealand Government to open their airports for mercy flights for those who are trapped there because of Covis-19 and provide transport for them to the Airport

More details

Many British Citizens are trapped in New Zealand because of their lockdown strategy due to Covid 19. While one can understand their strategy it does not make sense to imprison other nationals and prevent them from being repatriated home. The Government have a duty to instruct the foreign office to communicate with New Zealand and make an agreement with them to allow mercy flightsand transport to the airport to get everyone home.
