Any suggestions on best way for him to get back to US would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance,
Getting to MLE was difficult at the best of times
MLE wikipedia entry, but airlines & destinations will not up to date---> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velana...tional_Airport
https://macl.aero/

What did he/she have a ticket for?
Try TG?
SIN & HKG closed for transit passenger
EK not flying for ~2 weeks
Sleep on the beach?

Why anyone would book with an OTA at this time, and not direct with the airline is beyond me. Changes-complications and OTA's do not go together
