Chris Rowles, managing director of Serenity Holidays, returned to the UK following 10 days on the ground in the West African county.
In a statement, he praised the work of both UK-based and in-destination staff to “successfully execute our emergency repatriation plan in such a short space of time.”
Rowles added that the operator was “delighted” to be resuming its flying programme to Gambia on January 27.
Although Rowles said the recommencement of flights was “tinged” with sadness after the political unrest marred the start of the company’s 30th year operating to the country.
