It is worth reminding that earlier some airports, including Dubai International Airport, temporarily suspended their operations due to military actions in Iran and related attacks in the UAE. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Kyrgyzstan held negotiations with several countries in the Middle East, including Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and the Sultanate of Oman, to organize evacuation flights for Kyrgyz citizens. As a result, an agreement was reached with Oman to allocate two charter flights to transport 300 Kyrgyz citizens, primarily women and children.
