Get UK citizens who are stuck in Australia home on a chartered flight

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

We are asking for the UK government to send a chartered plane to Sydney, Australia, in order to save the hundreds of brits who are stuck here without plane tickets. Some of us have purchased two or more tickets and both have been cancelled, leaving us stranded and helpless.

We can’t afford to stay in Sydney and keep purchasing flights. We need to get home.
