The Foreign Office has opened a booking portal for British nationals in Dubai who wish to access government charter flights to leave the Middle East region.
Thousands of Britons have been stranded in the region, including in Dubai, after the US and Israel’s conflict with Iran led to widespread airspace closures and cancelled flights.
The most vulnerable will be prioritised for booking onto charter flights and the Foreign Office has said it will contact those who have registered their presence in the region.
The government began operating flights out of the region earlier in the week from Muscat, Oman. Two have returned to the UK so far and a flight from Dubai is scheduled for early next week.
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) continues to be affected by the conflict.
On Saturday, a Dubai resident was killed after shrapnel from an “aerial interception” fell on a vehicle in the Al Barsha area, the Dubai Media Office said.
More than 160,000 British nationals have registered their presence in the region with the Foreign Office.
On Saturday, the government announced it will run a commercial charter flight from Dubai, available for a charge. British nationals, their spouse or partner and children under the age of 18 are eligible to register.
Earlier, Emirates airline said it had carried about 30,000 passengers out of Dubai on Thursday and had operated 35 flights to the UK since resuming services.
