We are working with our partners in the region to assist British Nationals and their families to leave Afghanistan. Since September 2021, the FCDO has assisted 218 British nationals and eligible Afghan dependents to leave Afghanistan on Qatari Government charter flights. We continue to keep FCDO Travel Advice updated, and encourage British Nationals to sign up for updates when published. Commercial flights from Afghanistan to regional capitals are available and we encourage people to check safety notices published by the UK civil aviation authority.
