The Foreign Affairs Ministry says the first group of Indonesians evacuated from Egypt will arrive in Jakarta on Wednesday.

The 415 evacuees, mostly women and children, will reach Soekarno Hatta International Airport at 11 a.m. on Wednesday on a Garuda Indonesia flight and be brought to dormitories at Pondok Gede Haj to meet immigration and customs officials, ministry spokesman Michael Tene said.

The evacuation team ran into problems when transporting the evacuees to Cairo International Airport after it was banned from using large buses, Michael said.

Michael said preparations were underway to evacuate the next group of Indonesians, declining to discuss specifics.

“It’s all still in process,” he said as quoted by tempointeraktif.com online news portal.
