A charter flight bringing back 319 Hong Kong residents from Pakistan landed at Chek Lap Kok airport on Thursday evening.
Most of them were staying in the capital, Islamabad, and the surrounding areas, and some had special needs. The cost of the flight is around HK$6,000 for each passenger.
The evacuees would be taken to the AsiaWorld-Expo convention centre for coronavirus testing before undergoing a 14-day compulsory quarantine at Chung Yeung Estate in Fo Tan.
On Wednesday, the government said it had contacted around 1,600 Hong Kong residents stranded in Pakistan after the country banned all international flights last month to prevent the spread of Covid-19.
Officials were still working on a separate charter flight to bring Hongkongers stuck in India back home.
