Sao Tomé airport operative again

Lisbon, Portugal - Confined tourists go back home

Tourists detained in Sao Tomé by the coup were able to go back home on Friday. They were 40 passengers, compelled to remain in the African archipelago because of the military takeover on Wednesday 16. In Tuesday night the airport was reopened, and the unfortunates could leave Sao Tomé on a Portuguese Air Luxoe plane.
