airports and schools reopened after several weeks of closure

The police clear the last trees to free up traffic. This expressway is a strategic axis in New Caledonia, blocked for several weeks by roadblocks. The road leads directly to the international airport. Since Monday June 17, passengers can go there again after a month of closure. The first commercial flights are being carried out again, but traffic remains very disrupted.

“I can’t get a flight home”, deplores a man who wishes to return to mainland France. This Monday also marks the return to class of primary school students. In the south of the island, 20 of the 26 establishments have reopened their doors. A relief for parents. The events of recent weeks nevertheless remain in everyone’s minds. Teachers try to talk with their students to move on.
