On Sunday, two final special repatriation flights organized by the Estonian Ministry of Foreign Affairs will depart from Dubai to bring Estonian citizens and their residence-permit holding family members home. The flights come in response to the need for the return of nationals stranded due to evolving circumstances in the region. Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna confirmed that the operations have successfully allowed many Estonians to return home, with a significant number already arriving in Tallinn and Riga on previous flights.

The first of the special flights landed in Tallinn and Riga on Sunday morning, facilitating the return of several citizens from the United Arab Emirates who were in need of assistance. The announcement of the final flights was made by Minister Tsahkna, who expressed that they have been working diligently since the previous Saturday to ensure that Estonians can return home safely. He also noted the changing conditions in the UAE, highlighting the Ministry's readiness to adapt plans as required and keep citizens informed through the ongoing ticket sales for the last flight on Sunday.

As the situation in the Middle East continues to develop, the Estonian government remains proactive in ensuring the safety and return of its citizens overseas. The organization of these special flights underscores the government's commitment to assist nationals in distress and exemplifies the intricate coordination required in response to international developments that may affect the safety of citizens abroad.
