Bahrain sets regional Repatriation standard

Multi-route mobilisation The repatriation effort used a blend of nine Gulf Air aircraft and 37 overland buses to reach citizens stranded in countries affected by the recent closure of airspace due to regional tensions. Alongside Iran, repatriations were carried out from Iraq, Jordan, Russia, Azerbaijan, and Armenia. In one of the most logistically com- plex stages of the operation, citizens in Iran were flown to Turkmenistan, from where Bahraini diplomatic teams coordinated with local authorities to finalise onward travel. Similar arrangements were made through border crossings in Iraq, where buses carried returning citizens from transit points.

Bahrain Successfully Completes Return of Stranded Citizens from Affected Countries

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has announced the successful return of all Bahraini citizens who were stranded abroad and had requested to come back home from countries affected by the current regional situation. This was made possible after the full or partial reopening of airspace in those nations. The repatriation efforts were carried out in line with the royal directives of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and under the instructions of His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Crown Prince and Prime Minister. The final two repatriation flights, operated by Gulf Air, Bahrain's national carrier, arrived from Turkmenistan carrying 203 citizens who had previously been in the Islamic Republic of Iran. In addition, the ministry confirmed the return of 103 other citizens from various countries where airspace had been temporarily closed due to the ongoing situation. In total, 2,586 Bahraini citizens were brought back from Iran through coordinated efforts involving nine Gulf Air flights and 37 buses operating by land routes. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs extended its gratitude to the diplomatic missions of Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, as well as to the governments of Iraq and Turkmenistan, for their support in easing travel and border procedures, and for helping Bahraini citizens return safely.
