(CNN Spanish) - The Chilean Foreign Minister, Teodoro Ribera Neumann, said at a press conference this Wednesday that with conversations with the Brazilian foreign minister, they have reached an agreement for the Sao Paulo airport to be used as an airport transit for the return of all Chileans to the country.

Ribera Neumann indicated that this will make it easier for flights from Africa, the Middle East or Europe to stop in Sao Paulo and then continue on to Chile.

The minister also said that he is in talks with several airlines to return the money to Chileans who bought travel tickets to different parts of the world and that, due to the coronavirus pandemic, they will not be able to comply with the itineraries.
scheduled.

Facing the possibility of using FACH planes to return to compatriots who are outside the country, Ribera Neumann said that they do not rule out the idea but that this plane only has a capacity for 200 people. The minister indicated that it would be better used to
travel to China and bring supplies, such as medical materials, to "better prepare ourselves, contain and deal with the coronavirus."
