Alert: Updated Departure Information #4
8 MINUTE READ
March 2, 2020

The U.S. Embassy manifested a limited number of passengers for the flight on Sunday.

Unfortunately, if you did not receive an email stating that you had been manifested, there were not enough seats to allocate one for you.

The U.S. Embassy continues to explore other possibilities for future flights, but has no information at this time.

The guidance listed below was used to determine how the seats were filled.

The cost will be approximately $1,300 per person.  Passengers will sign a promissory note which will have to be repaid to the U.S Government.  Cash or credit card payments cannot be made before the flight departs.

If you still would like evacuation assistance and have not already contacted us, please send an email to U.S. ChadEvac@state.gov.  Emails sent to other accounts will not be answered.

If you do not have a valid U.S. passport, please contact us immediately.

There are now 5 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Chad.

Passengers will be listed in priority order per State Dept guidelines as follows:

  • U.S. citizens at higher risk from the virus – adults 65 and older, and people of any age with underlying health issues.
  • U.S. citizen minors and 1 escort
  • Adult U.S. citizens in need of medical assistance who do not fall into a higher priority group.
  • Other U.S. citizens
  • Non-U.S. citizen dependents of U.S. citizens
  • Eligible non-U.S. citizens, with priority given to those with underlying health issues or 65 years or older.

Please be aware that you will have to pay for this flight.

We cannot provide a timeline.

FOR ADVANCE PLANNING PURPOSES ONLY:

  • You should be prepared to leave with little advance notice
  • Pack a “go” bag now with essential documents and other items
  • Keep in mind that you may be limited in how much luggage you can bring
  • There is no guarantee that pets will be accommodated.  Please make alternate arrangements for the care of your pet.
  • Updates will be provided as they become available.  Individual emails may experience a delay in responses due to high volume and decreased staffing at the Embassy.
