UK working with Israel to arrange charter flights out of Tel Aviv, Lammy says
LONDON: Britain is working with Israeli authorities to arrange charter flights for British nationals from Tel Aviv when the airport reopens, foreign minister David Lammy said on Friday. 'As part of our efforts to support British nationals in the Middle East, the government is working with the Israeli authorities to provide charter flights from Tel Aviv airport when airspace reopens,' Lammy said in a statement. Israel's main international gateway, Ben Gurion Airport, closed last week due to Israel and Iran's spiralling air war. On Monday, the British government advised its citizens in Israel to register their presence with British authorities, saying it was monitoring the situation and considering options for assistance. It said it had increased its logistical support for citizens who have turned to overland routes into Jordan and Egypt.
