It should be noted that earlier, due to military aggression against Iran and Iran's retaliatory attacks on the UAE, the operation of several airports was suspended, including the international hub in Dubai. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Kyrgyzstan has been negotiating with several Middle Eastern countries, including Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Oman, to organize evacuation flights for Kyrgyz citizens. By order of Sadyr Japarov, an agreement was reached with Oman to carry out two charter flights to evacuate 300 Kyrgyz citizens. Women and children will have priority for boarding.
