经过37个小时的长距离跨洋飞行，南航赴墨西哥包机6日16时32分安全抵达上海浦东国际机场。飞机共接回98名中国公民。

　　A plane sent to fetch 98 Chinese citizens from Mexico arrived in Shanghai Wednesday afternoon. All on board were in normal condition, the city's quarantine bureau said.

　　The plane landed at Pudong International Airport at 4:32 p.m. The passengers, along with a Shanghai-based infectious disease specialist who accompanied them, were sent to a hotel for quarantine.

　　China sent the flight under an agreement with Mexico, which has been battling an A/H1N1 flu outbreak, to send back each other's nationals.

　　Checks by quarantine officials showed that the passengers and the specialist, Lu Hongzhou, had normal body temperatures.

　　Lu told Xinhua by telephone that his mission was to treat passengers if they took sick en route and make sure the disease did not spread on the plane.

　　"We prepared plenty of medicine and instruments and made a detailed response plan," he added.

　　The passengers wore new surgical masks every four hours and had meals by turns during the flight. They also were told to wash hands regularly.

　　Each of the passengers received a letter of apology and a Shanghai World Expo mascot, Haibao.

　　The Shanghai Quarantine Bureau checked the health of all the people on the plane on its arrival, and sterilized the aircraft, luggage and waste.

　　The China Southern Airlines plane flied on to Guangzhou, headquarters of the flight operator, where the 19 crew members would be under observation.

　　The plane picked up 79 Chinese nationals in Mexico City and 19 others in Tijuana. They are from 15 provinces and municipalities, including Shanxi, Guangdong and Beijing, and most of them are business people.
