Swiss International Airlines Organizes Special Flight from Oman
Flight Details and Purpose
ZURICH, March 4 (Reuters) – Swiss International Airlines said on Wednesday it would operate an Airbus A340 flight out of Oman on Thursday to help stranded travellers return to Switzerland amid the conflict in the Middle East.
Eligibility for the Repatriation Flight
Swiss, a unit of Lufthansa, said those on board would be people with a Swiss ticket unable to fly to Zurich due to the conflict, as well as Swiss nationals who have registered their place of residence in Oman with Swiss authorities.
Support for Swiss Citizens
“In particular, this measure is intended to offer Swiss citizens an opportunity to return home,” Swiss said.
Impact of the Middle East Conflict on Swiss Nationals
The Swiss foreign ministry’s latest estimates indicate that almost 5,000 Swiss people travelling in the region were stranded by the conflict, with over 500 in Oman.
Uncertainty Around Passenger Numbers
It was not clear how many people were scheduled to be on the special flight departing Muscat for Zurich on Thursday morning.
Coordination and Independence of the Operation
The airline said that while the flight was being carried out in coordination with the foreign ministry, it was not a subsidized evacuation, but an independent operation by Swiss.
