Though still concerned about the COVID-19 situation in the United Kingdom, many Chinese students have begun to pack up and return to school.

Seventy-four Chinese students boarded a Hainan Airlines charter flight from Chongqing to Manchester, England, at 1 am on Monday to resume their overseas schooling, which had been disrupted by the coronavirus.

It was the first charter flight operated by a Chinese airline to carry Chinese students back to schools in a foreign country.

Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport and Hainan Airlines made special transfer arrangements for the students, including free luggage storage, free packing, free meals and free lodging.

The airline contacted the students directly for ticket purchases based on lists provided by the UK schools.
