- UK evacuation flight from Tel Aviv is due to leave on Sunday 29 June, after which no further flights are currently scheduled
- evacuation flights are winding down and will end if there is no longer sufficient demand
- those who have registered to take a UK government charter flight will be contacted to confirm if they still wish to travel
The last scheduled flight chartered from Tel Aviv by the British Government for British nationals looking to return home is set to depart on Sunday afternoon. Demand is falling and the number of commercial options continues to grow, following the ceasefire agreed between Israel and Iran.
Five flights have now successfully departed Tel Aviv, transporting British nationals back to the UK. A further flight is scheduled for Sunday 29 June, with no additional flights currently scheduled to take place after this.
Evacuation flights will end if there is no longer sufficient demand, so British nationals seeking to travel on Sunday’s flight are encouraged to register via the Register Your Presence portal now, if they have not done so already, to receive further information.
A FCDO spokesperson said:
The safety and security of British nationals is our top priority. The Foreign Office is working around the clock to respond to the crisis and support British nationals affected.
The government has organised multiple flights evacuating British nationals and their dependants from Tel Aviv, prioritising the most vulnerable. These flights will end if there is not sufficient demand.
We will keep the situation under review.
Given the low demand observed for government-provided transport for British nationals crossing land borders from Israel into Jordan and Egypt, the UK is no longer providing these onward transport options from the border crossings.
Plans will be kept under constant review, depending on demand and the security situation.
