Three UK Government facilitated flights have departed Israel for the UK and Cyprus, with more expected to follow in the coming hours. These flights are part of the UK’s efforts to assist vulnerable British nationals who wish to leave the region. In addition to the flights, two UK Government Rapid Deployment Teams (RDT) and British Red Cross responders have been deployed to provide support to those in need.

The UK is also working closely with Israeli air controllers and the air industry to maintain commercial air links and explore various transportation options. Although commercial flights are currently limited, a few routes between Israel and Europe, including the UK, remain open.
