Case Studies
Lutece International offer worldwide repatriation assistance to families and corporate clients.
Bangkok to Falkland Islands
Lutece International were first approached to take on a case by an insurance company we work closely with in France and North Africa.
A tragic airplane crash took place in Biskra, Algeria where sadly 47 passengers on board died including crew members.
The flights from Algeria were severely limited and it seemed impossible to reach certain destinations in the world from Algeria, so we had to deploy our team from Tunisia with refrigerated private ambulances loaded with zinc lined coffins and with the help of our local partners in Algeria we managed to sort out all the documents, then transferred all the deceased people to Tunis Carthage International airport in Tunisia where we had to repatriate them all back home.
Our team on the ground worked professionally under pressure and liaised with our Alarm centre in Tunisia to update the client and the families.
The process was difficult as we had to liaise with different embassies and consulates in Algeria to receive the consular permits.
Our airfreight providers booked the cargo flights at the same time as we were working on the ground.
PARIS, FRANCE TO CHINA
Lutece International were instructed by an assistance company in the UK to support with the repatriation of Chinese man who died with Covid at Paris hospital. He was the first Fatality to die with the Corona virus.
At the time all the health authorities weren’t sure about the regulations as there were changes and new measurements announced every day. Most of the countries started to close their borders, Full body repatriation was not permitted so the only option left was for us to safely handle a local service and cremation in Paris. The family attended the ceremony and we handed the ashes over to them.
SOUSSE, TUNISIA TO THE UK
We are the leading repatriation company in Tunisia. During the tragic terror attack that took place at a Hotel resort, sadly 38 Tourists were killed, 30 of whom were British.
We were instructed by the local Tunisian government and other insurance companies to get involved and help with the repatriations. We supplied zinc lined coffins, carried out the embalming process after the postmortem had been performed, and took care of all the documentation and the logistic transfers.
The British government deployed a military aircraft to repatriate the victims and we had to deliver the coffins to the airside. The tragic event was shocking and devastating for us and the whole world, but we worked under pressure and delivered high quality service.
Exhumation in Brazil and repatriation to France
Exhumation in Brazil and repatriation to France
Lutece International was instructed by a private family who lost their beloved one during the Covid pandemic.
It was impossible at the time to repatriate, as most of the countries closed their borders and shut down the air travel.
The person was buried in Rio de Janeiro and recently the family decided to exhume the body and repatriate back to France. We have liaised with our local partner in Brazil and carried out the exhumation involving the local authorities.
Finally, we carried out the repatriation back to Paris and we conducted the funeral as the family wished.
