Event:
A Surinam Airways flight is scheduled to fly from Paramaribo to Amsterdam on May 9, 2020. This flight may provide an opportunity for repatriation to the United States assuming passengers have proof of an onward ticket to the U.S. If the flight is booked, there may be waitlist opportunities. Passengers on this flight transiting to the U.S. would need to stay in the airport until the transfer. We recommend contacting the airline directly for details and confirmation that non-Dutch citizens may board.
