A group of international vacationers who flew from London to the south of France in a private jet were turned away by French police after they landed. A nationwide lockdown is in place to prevent the spread of coronavirus.
French border police were notified on April 4 by the Marseille Provence Airport that an English company wanted to fly a jet from London to Marseille, carrying 10 passengers of Croatian, French, German, Romanian and Ukrainian nationality.
France is under a nationwide lockdown to prevent the spread of coronavirus, and foreigners entering French territory need to have an essential reason to do so under emergency rules, such as medical personnel coming as reinforcements for hospital staff, or individuals transporting medical equipment.The police informed the airport that everyone but the French nationals would be denied entry, but the flight nonetheless landed at around 3 p.m.
The trip was organized by a Croatian national working in real estate and finance, the Air Border Police official said, adding that the man had rented the plane and three helicopters, as well as a villa in Cannes.He told authorities he had"a lot of money" and wanted"to just pay a fine and go to Cannes," the official told CNN.
