The Federal Government will schedule another 20 repatriation flights to bring stranded Australians home.
Acting Foreign Minister Simon Birmingham said flights from "priority areas" determined by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) around the world will be organised by the Commonwealth over the next couple of months.
Travellers will be taken to the Howard Springs facility in the Northern Territory, as well as to locations in Canberra and Tasmania.
Mr Birmingham said the extra repatriation flights were "over and above" the existing caps on returning international travellers.
He added: "[This] will create additional places for Australians to get home over and above those caps by transporting people … [into] locations that are willing to work above those caps on a case-by-case basis.
"We'll work closely with authorities in those jurisdictions to make sure that it is all done with the strictest procedures and protocols to keep people safe."
