Headline: UNCAPTIONED: UK Opens Charter Flight Portal For Britons Stranded In Dubai
Caption: UK Opens Charter Flight Portal For Britons Stranded In Dubai. The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office has launched a booking portal for British nationals in Dubai seeking charter flights out of the Middle East. Thousands of Britons have been stranded across the region after airspace closures triggered by the conflict involving Iran, the United States, and Israel disrupted commercial travel. Officials say the most vulnerable passengers will be prioritised for available seats, and those who have already registered their presence in the region will be contacted directly. The UK government began organising evacuation flights earlier in the week from Muscat, with two aircraft already returning to Britain. Another charter flight from Dubai is expected to depart early next week. More than 160,000 British nationals have registered with the Foreign Office for assistance as the conflict continues to affect travel and security across the Gulf.
