British nationals who wish to leave the country are advised to arrive at the British Evacuation Handling Centre at Port Sudan International Airport before noon local time on May 1.
The government had previously ceased evacuation flights from Wadi Saeedna airfield due to a fall in demand and the unstable situation in the area.
The evacuation operation, which has involved over 1,200 personnel from the Royal Marines, 16 Air Assault Brigade, and the Royal Air Force, was deemed “extremely successful” by Foreign Office minister Andrew Mitchell.
However, he noted that it could not continue indefinitely in a dangerous environment.
