UK government charters flight from Oman for stranded British nationals
The Foreign Office has arranged a charter flight from Muscat to evacuate British citizens seeking to leave the Middle East amid escalating regional conflict. Scheduled for Wednesday night, the service will prioritise vulnerable individuals and families. Officials have warned nationals not to travel to the airport unless contacted directly. This measure follows severe disruption to commercial air travel caused by recent military strikes involving the US, Israel and Iran.
