To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, pursuant to the Answer of 9 February 2022 to Question 117029, what information her Department has on potential future Qatar sponsored charter flights for UK nationals seeking to leave Afghanistan.
We remain grateful to our Qatari Government partners for their generous support in providing a safe route for British Nationals and eligible Afghan dependents to leave Afghanistan. Qatari Government charter flight services are offered to many international passengers who remain in Afghanistan. The allocation of seats is subject to Qatari operational plans and decision-making. Since September 2021, the FCDO has supported 218 British nationals and eligible Afghan dependents to leave Afghanistan on this important route.
