Additionally, as informed by the press service of Manas Airport, flights from Kuwait are also planned. However, flights from Sharjah have not yet resumed, the airport clarified.
It is worth reminding that earlier, due to military actions in Iran and related attacks on the territory of the UAE, the operations of some airports, including the largest hub in Dubai, were suspended. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Kyrgyzstan conducted negotiations with several countries in the Middle East, including Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Oman, to organize evacuation flights for Kyrgyz citizens. By the order of Sadyr Japarov, an agreement was reached with Oman to conduct two charter flights to evacuate 300 citizens. Priority will be given to women and children.
