Many refugees bid farewell to the Alps

Switzerland deported a record number of refugees

According to the Swissinfo.ch portal, both figures reflect a record (one-third) increase in both the number of deported refugees and the number of flights required for this.

In 2015, the number of refugees who reached Switzerland was relatively high, but the number of deportees was also significant, largely as a result of Switzerland's closer migration cooperation with the authorities of the European Union. Together, they carried out 20 flights, during which 90 refugees were deported to their countries of origin.
