On his social media page, the President of Kyrgyzstan, Sadyr Japarov, spoke about the current efforts to bring compatriots back from the Middle Eastern countries. He noted that due to the existing restrictions on air travel in the United Arab Emirates, the government of the republic has developed an alternative route through Oman.
“Currently, active work is underway to evacuate our citizens who are unable to return to their homeland. Due to the ban on takeoffs and landings in the UAE, an agreement has been reached with Oman to conduct two charter flights to transport 300 people. If we manage to obtain permission for flights from the UAE, we will be able to evacuate all remaining citizens within one day. Women and children will be evacuated first through Oman. I urge everyone to remain calm and patient,” he added.
