The Government is fully committed to helping stranded British nationals return home. Through our work with airlines and with foreign governments, we estimate over 1.3 million British nationals have returned to the UK via commercial routes and we have brought back more than 13,000 people on 63 chartered flights.

I am in regular contact with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and the Welsh Government on this vital work.
